I'm a singer and pianist with over two decades of professional experience, including a 20+ year career as a top-ranked performer at Universal Orlando. These days, I work at Keys on Main, Seattle's premier dueling piano bar! I know thousands of songs, and I will liven up your event with a fun, friendly, interactive, request-driven sing-along show! Sharing music with people is my passion, and--as you''ll see--I put everything into my performance. I can also do a more chill, background show if that's your preference. I have my own equipment, and I am willing to travel nearly anywhere outside of Seattle. My only goal is to make your event more memorable. Thanks for your time and consideration.

March 12, 2025Our company has worked with Tod Kimbro numerous times for corporate and private events....what an incredible talent! Tod can read a crowd from the moment he begins his performance. He easily disarms his audience with his charm and wit. A musical maestro with a voice that can power up or dial down, depending on the mood and occasion. Tod is a complete professional!

March 10, 2025We have had the pleasure of hiring Tod multiple times for our Orlando Fringe fundraiser galas, and every time, he has been nothing short of extraordinary! As both a singer and pianist, he brings an incredible level of professionalism, charm, and sheer talent to every performance.
Not only has he provided breathtaking live music for our events, but he has also composed original shows that have truly been showstoppers. Our patrons consistently rave about his performances, and we’ve seen firsthand how his music elevates any event.

March 10, 2025I am the owner of Barrel Room in Portland, Oregon, and I have hired Tod dozens of times for all kinds of private events and such. He has never been anything but the utmost professional, always on time and ready to go. He has one of the best voices we have here, guests can’t stop telling me how astonishing he is, and I fully agree! He is so on top of his performance and vibe, I could go on about the range of wonderful experiences he’s created. If I could hire him every week I would.

After over two decades as a top-ranked performer at Universal Orlando, Tod Kimbro relocated to the Pacific Northwest in 2023. He quickly became a regular singer/pianist at Keys on Main, Seattle's premier dueling piano club. He has played countless corporate gigs nationwide, in addition to private events in Spain, the UK, and Canada.
As a performer, Tod specializes in a winning combination of passionate performance and off-the-cuff humor. In addition to his vocal and musical talents, Tod is also a playwright, songwriter, composer, and director. His original musical "Wasteland" premiered off-Broadway in 2009 at the New York Musical Theatre Festival, and his original script for the award-winning "Josephine," a one-woman biographical musical about the legendary Josephine Baker, has been performed hundreds of times Off-Broadway, across Canada and the continental US, and in Europe.

I take requests for a living, so I know thousands of songs across many genres. I can also learn songs quickly if you have special requests for your event. The options are endless!
As a pop/rock performer, I am heavily influenced by mid-to-late 20th artists like Freddie Mercury, Prince, Elton John, Billy Joel, and David Bowie. As a composer and musical theatre enthusiast, I'm influenced by the work of Stephen Sondheim, Lin Manuel Miranda, and Kander/Ebb.
