Ted Todd’s booming baritone has been a driving force behind the blues on Spokane radio for 19 years. His Sunday night three-hour show-The Blowtorch Blues Show-on classic rock KKZX radio is a major reason the station has produced a number one Sunday night rating. In addition to his commitments with radio, hosting shows and announcing at festivals, Ted is also very active as the editor and chief writer for the Inland Empire Blues Society’s monthly newsletter, which adds up to 20 years of writing CD reviews and stories. Clear Channel cites Ted’s inclusive programming as a factor in the station’s “Number One Top Rated 100 Market Classic rock” ranking in the nation. One look through a sample of his playlist illustrates the diversity of blues from current favorites to historic classics.
