Todd is a full time musician who finds his inspiration in ancient poetry and through the modern gritty beats of urban America. Todd’s unique style is indicative of the traditional singer songwriter a la Billy Joel mixed with the modern high energy rock and electronica more typical of Cold Play or early Beck.
Todd has some great insight and wonderful stories to share. Go To the Podcast

Songwriting has commenced for the new Village Thrift recording. We should have plenty of material for you all to work with by the time we release the tracks to you for your creative genius. Between 3 writers, we have about 40 song ideas so far to sort through and choose which ones to develop further. My friend, DJ Doc (Harrill), and I are pretty excited about some of the collaborative alliances that are being made both here in Cleveland and abroad. We’re dreaming big dreams at this point, and I’d imagine the credits will be a lengthy list of friends by the release date of this latest Village Thrift installment.
Let me say this, that the Psalms have never seemed so relevant in light of the issues we are facing around the world and in our own back ally. I think I’m personally starting to understand David and his wildly creative collaboration between Psalmists who were about singing to God about the issues that surrounded them in that time. They didn’t wax elloquent in pouring out their hearts to the Lord, nor did they feel bashful about airing out their dirty laundry in the corporate setting. Another thing I’m remembering is that before we had what we now know as the Bible, God was speaking to and through mortals like David, who were simply responding to what they were hearing. They created a bunch of songs, that have been added to the Bible, and the rest is history. We who now have the Bible, refer to these now as the “Word of God”. I wonder how David and the psalmists would have responded in the creative process had they known their music would be documented as the God’s word to future generations. I wonder how they would have fealt knowing that only the lyrics would endure and that future generations would only be familiar with these songs divorced from their original musical and cultural context. Pray for us, as we now excavate this ancient poetry from it’s cultural context and reassemble it using the musical context of today to preserve it’s truths for posterity.

Village Thrift is what happens when you revisit the foundation of the original Enter the Worship Circle series, but foster collaboration with artists who speak the musical languages of cultures outside the spectrum of tribal drums and acoustic guitars? This latest series in the Enter the Worship Circle recordings has been constructed from the existing foundation of it’s sister Worship Circle recordings, and though sharing the name of it’s predecessors, it has opened a new doorway altogether for experimentation in worship and developing worship environments. With collaborative songwriting and acoustic instrumentation interchanged with discovered (thrift) sounds manipulated electronically, Enter the Worship Circle has intentionally used technologies that have been used almost exclusively by DJ’s, Art-Rock, and Hip-Hop artists. Take a little pop melody work from Moby, a little ambient rhythm from the Telefon Tel Aviv, add some offbeat elements like symphonic rock from the Art of Noise, and finish it off with the voices of Ben and Robin Pasley and newcomers Todd Berger and Ryan Lott and you are starting to feel the vibe of Village Thrift.

Circa 2005, the first in the Village Thrift series, is a wide-eyed journey that explores themes of doubt in our failure-prone humanity, and our absolute dependence on God’s sufficiency in times when we find our faith to be thin. In the book of Psalms, King David has left a trail for us of abolute honesty and vulnerability in approaching the Holy One– evidence of God’s ability to receive all who will come as they are. These songs are inspired directly from those Psalms, and in keeping with the original Worship Circle series, this album is a “must have” for any Worship Circle fans.

Todd and Laurel have a passion for ministering to students and love to partner with campus ministries leading Enter the Worship Circle events. Todd enjoys his local role as Worship Arts Director for multi-cultural NewSong Church and as missionaries with Wake Arts Collective, Todd and Laurel are pioneering a creative community with missional partners Ryan and Jennifer Lott and Doc and Anne Harrill in their hometown of Cleveland, OH.
