BiographySinger/songwriter Todd Snider first garnered attention
for his timely alt-rock satire "Talkin' Seattle Grunge Rock Blues," a
folk-rock song that struck a chord with younger people fed up with angry
alternative rock bands, and at the same time, appealed to aging rockers
who grew up with the folk revival of the 1960s. Snider and his band, the
Nervous Wrecks blend bluegrass, blues, folk-rock, and country-rock to forge
their own distinctive sound.
