Todd Sickafoose Profile

Drummer Sickafoose is profiled and his new release is discussed.

Ani DiFranco and Andrew Bird are among the guest musicians featured on “Tiny Resistors,” the captivating new album by Todd Sickafoose, who plays tomorrow at downtown’s all-ages Dizzy’s with his band.

Sickafoose is, of course, the bassist in DiFranco’s band (her drummer, Allison Miller, shares percussion duties on “Tiny Resistors” with the Charlie Hunter Band’s Simon Lott). On his new album, Sickafoose also performs on piano, vibraphone, accordion and several other instruments that help him realize his genre-leaping musical vision.
