Bio
Todd Eric Lovato was born in a teepee in Tesuque. He was home-schooled and for a while, had really funny hair -- like a rat tail and such. During this time he learned music from Mansi, his folk music-loving accordion-toting grandmother. Then he cut his hair, went to school and a bunch of stuff happened. Now he makes music, writes about music, and slangs education.
