Todd 'Dammit' Kerns, a multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter and producer, is the current bass player/backing vocalist for ex Guns N Roses legend SLASH and lead singer/guitaris of Vegas' best rock band THE SIN CITY SINNERS.
Todd has appeared with Slash on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Ellen, Lopez Tonight with George Lopez, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and ESPN's Monday Night Football.
Todd has performed with many guest artists including Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas, Adam Levine from Maroon Five, Lemmy from Motorhead, Alice Cooper, Jason Bonham, Nicole Scherzinger from Pussycat Dolls, Sylvain Sylvain from the New York Dolls, Cheetah Chrome from the Dead Boys, Michael Monroe from Hanoi Rocks, George Lynch from Dokken and many, many more.
He has toured Europe, Asia, Australia, Russia, the US and Canada.
With Slash Todd has played massive European festivals like Glastonbury, Download, Rock Am Ring, Rock Im Park, Pink Pop and more.
Born and reared in Smallville, Canada, Todd first garnered attention with his band THE AGE OF ELECTRIC, who went on to attain Gold status as well as being nominated for a Juno, Canada's Grammy. THE AGE OF ELECTRIC worked with legendary producers such as Bob Rock (Metallica) and Gil Norton (Foo Fighters). THE AGE OF ELECTRIC is still remembered as one of Canada's favorite alternative rock bands of the 90's.
After THE AGE OF ELECTRIC Todd and brother, former AOE bass player, John formed STATIC IN STEREO with youngest brother Ryan. STATIC IN STEREO's self titled album went on to receive critical acclaim and secured Todd's place as a fixture on the Canadian music scene.
In 2004 Todd released his first solo album GO TIME. A collection of original songs influenced by the artists closest to Todd's heart including T-Rex, Bowie, MC5 and The Stooges, GO TIME is in a class of its own, getting back to the heart of true Rock N' Roll.
Todd has appeared on albums by such artists as THE MATTHEW GOOD BAND, BIF NAKED and THE NEVERENDING WHITE LIGHTS. He is respected as one of Canada's most dependable vocalists.
In the past (and present) Todd has delved into his other passion, production and songwriting with other musicians. He has produced and written with a number of artists and continues to share his knowledge of all things musical with people he believes in.
In 2007 production projects brought Todd to Las Vegas where he came to form what would grow to be Vegas' most beloved rock band THE SIN CITY SINNERS with former Faster Pussycat guitarist, Brent Muscat. The Sinners released their debut cd, Exile On Fremont Street, in early 2010 to much acclaim.
In spring of 2010 Todd was asked to tour with former Guns N Roses legend Slash in support of his solo album as bassist and backing vocalist. Todd accepted the challenge and will be touring into 2011 around the world with the guitar hero.
Todd divides his time between Slash and the Sinners as well as his other projects. Never a dull moment.
