Todd Morgan & the Emblems

Professional and polite attitudes both on and off stage. Willingness to give the customer and their audiences their very best show. They create an exciting set list geared to the personality and taste of the event and patrons, yet able to adapt and willing to take a request when possible. They will create a fun atmosphere for those that want to get up and dance, if that fits the venue, but equally enjoyable to watch and enjoy.

This Sacramento based band has truly unearthed a new side to Rock, melding every faction and era of American music, from early Jazz and Blues to present day Pop and Rock, along with heathy splashes of Soul and R & B, complete with exhilarating piano, vocal work and stage performance. The band’s history dates back to 2007, when they were primarily performing and writing songs in the style of 50’s Rock n’ Roll, so accurately in fact, that 6 original songs from the band’s self-titled first album(first released in 2009) were picked up summer of 2014 and re-recorded for the indie horror film, ‘1959’ . Not too long after their 2007 start up, Todd Morgan, the band’s vocalist, songwriter, pianist, and guitarist, felt the need to create and develop his own style and sound. This has resulted in the release of Todd Morgan's second album, 'Reality', in 2012, which far outsold its predecessor. Though audiences still enjoy the early tunes at live shows, they’ve embraced Todd’s current creations with equal, and in many cases, greater fervor. An exciting, high budgeted video short was created and for “Crazy Cryin’ Blues”(from the Reality album), and premiered, November 16, 2014. Recently, Todd and the Band have been busy in the studio, and a new, 14 song album, of all-original material is planned for release in 2015.

A four piece band, configured as five, as frontman, Todd Morgan, alternates between both piano and guitar throughout most shows. If a real piano is available that pleases Todd, otherwise he uses his Yamaha S90es keyboard, and uses Fender Telecastor guitar, usually providing his own Shure vocal Mics and stands, and a Vox amp on a riser. The remainder of the band provide guitar, electric bass( or stand up bass) and drum kit. A plot plan can be provided.
