Todd Hobin
- Adjunct Professor, Guitar Music
Todd Hobin is an American composer and conductor. His most recent film score The Artist & the Astronaut received its world premiere at the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival and won an Indie award. Festival invitations and screenings continue. The movie’s soundtrack is now available on CD and streaming services. Other credits include film scores for Impossible Choice and My Brother and Me, and audiobook scores include King Kong, Shannon Hale’s Goose Girl and Graceling by Kristin Cashore. He directed and wrote the music for Fairest, of which Publishers Weekly said, “This is a rare case: the book itself is superb, but the audio production surpasses it.” It was nominated for a prestigious AUDIE Award.
He was the musical director and lead songwriter on the acclaimed, nationally syndicated children’s television series Pappyland. In addition to post-scoring films and videos, he produces albums for a wide range of artists and has written and produced for clients as diverse as Coca-Cola, Hershey Park, ABC Television and Tri-Star Pictures.
His New Age Wellness Suite provides an ambiance for healing and meditation, but he is most notable for his work with the Todd Hobin Band. The band delivered legendary performances making them one of rock’s hardest-working, well-traveled bands. The music was, and still is distinctly American, melodic, driving and powerful. They played thousands of shows and shared the stage with the greatest bands of their time from The Beach Boys and Kinks, to the Allman Brothers, Hall & Oates and many, many more. The band released seven albums.
He still performs as a solo artist, and with his current band.
