Is Todd Snider ok?
BTW...
Who the frig is Todd Snider?
And why should you care?
All these questions and MORE answered in the latest episode of The GXO, your trusted, insider source for everything music and beyond!
Just one show into a 13 date tour to promote his latest album, legendary East Nashville based Americana storyteller Todd Snider is “allegedly” mugged and beaten up in South Salt Lake, Utah, just outside the venue he was to perform at.
When police refused to take him to the hospital, Snider somehow made it on his own, only to be discharged without proper care, according to Snider.
After being asked to leave, a visibly upset Snider returned to the hospital to air his grievances. Cops were called and Snider was arrested, spending the night in jail.
Since his release from jail, Snider has not been seen or heard from. A hastily written statement from his record company has only added mystery to this already disturbing tale.
Join us as we dive deeper into the events of that fateful Halloween 2025 night, Snider's BAD WEEKEND, his now cancelled tour and the murky waters of the man's psychic pain and inner demons.
WARNING! Sorry kids but Todd does use some foul language while performing his songs live. Listener discretion is advised
