Todd Burge

Todd Burge is a West Virginia-based singer-songwriter who’s been crafting witty, heartfelt Americana and folk tunes since the 1990s. Known for his storytelling chops and deadpan humor, Burge’s music often walks the line between clever satire and raw emotional candor, as heard in tracks like *It’s My First Pandemic* and *Santa Canta Getta Downa the Chimney This Year*. A staple of the Appalachian music scene, he’s celebrated for his live performances and has graced stages like NPR’s *Mountain Stage*, where he recorded the live version of *I’ll Never Make It Out of Here Alive*. His recent releases, from the existential musings of *These Extremes* to the seasonal silliness of his Christmas songs, showcase his range as a writer who refuses to take himself too seriously—even when digging into life’s darker corners.
