About Big Head Todd & the Monsters

Big Head Todd & the Monsters formed in Boulder, Colorado in 1986 and became one of the defining bands of the early 1990s alternative rock movement. Anchored by vocalist and guitarist Todd Park Mohr, the group built a fiercely loyal following through relentless touring and a live reputation that consistently outpaces their studio recordings. Their 1993 major-label debut Sister Sweetly produced the radio staple "Bittersweet" and established the band as a serious commercial force, while albums like Strategem and Beautiful World deepened their catalog with blues-inflected rock that aged exceptionally well.

What separates Big Head Todd & the Monsters from their '90s alt-rock contemporaries is their sustained vitality as a live act. The band never stopped touring, never stopped evolving, and never stopped connecting with audiences who demand authenticity over nostalgia. An Evening With Big Head Todd & the Monsters is exactly what the title promises — a headlining set that gives the band room to breathe, stretch songs, explore improvisational passages, and deliver the kind of show that rewards longtime fans and converts newcomers in equal measure. Atlanta audiences get the full experience at one of the best rooms in the South.
