Howdy Y'all...it's been a minute or two!
Howdy Y'all, I've been out of pocket now for a minute or two. Unfortunately, I had to go to the free side of membership here on N1M.com due to financial constraints and they cut me off from my people on my email list. I didn't like that much, but there wasn't anything I could do about it at the time. I'm really sorry about that. I really missed y'all, but I'm back in the saddle and I came with the album I promised in hand! Some of the tracks are here and It's available on over two dozen digital platforms as well as on Spotify and Pandora FOR FREE! It's also going to be available in CD form real soon on my web site which is in the process of migrating away from Reverbnation to my own stand alone site hosted by LiquidWeb. The site is presently under construction using WordPress and should be up and running in about a week or two. The site URL is rikkitodd.com and will have my music, music videos, merch, stickers, patches, band news, photos, band trivia, contests, show information, and lots of other cool stuff. I'm also working on the design for the "Without You" CD's jacket, graphics, and liner notes.
On another front my music video for the title track, "Without You", has been pretty busy lately. It's getting a lot of press in the film industry. Why? At the urging of a childhood friend I submitted it to a few film festivals and low and behold, it got into two of them so far! The Austin Revolution Film Festival 2020 here in Austin and the Hollywood First Time Film Maker's Showcase out in L.A. both in the Music Video category. Yea, that news totally blew me away when I found out too! To vote for my video, which is number #102 "Without You" you can purchase tickets for $15 to view over 100 independent films and music videos. So, go to: Tickets are now available for purchase by the public, via the link below:

So, we're waiting to hear from several other Film Festivals and will let you know as soon as we get the news of any other acceptances. The next two videos we're going to shot are going to be for the songs "Vida" which will be shot right here in Austin and for the song "One More Minute" which will be shot on a road trip from L.A. to Austin on Interstate-10. More details on that one soon. I'm thinking of having a contest with the winner making a cameo appearance in the video with their boyfriend or girlfriend. What do you think of that idea? Let me know by sending a message to me right here at N1M.com. Also, soon you can reach me on my web site at fanmail@rikkitodd.com. So, please let me know what you think of the music video cameo appearance idea. I'm not sure how we'd work that if we did it, but I think it sounds like a lot of fun. In the mean time, please check me out on Spotify,, Pandora, or download the album on Amazon, iTunes, or from your online store of choice for less than $13, You won't be sorry. Or you can wait for the CD to drop. Thanks for listening! Take care, have fun, and stay safe out there. Happy Trails, Y'all Rikki :)
