Memphians remember musician Todd Snider, nomad storyteller who launched career from local bar
“The bottom line is the songs were good. The songs, they connected with people in a real-life way, like any good folk song or country song does. It tells your story to you, whether you want it or not,” Keith Sykes said about Todd Snider. “And it’s just a great way to communicate. He had that in spades.” (Courtesy Angelina Castillo)
The alternative/folk/country musician who launched his lengthy career from a long-gone Memphis bar more than 30 years ago died Friday. He was 59.
