Stacy grew up in Delta, and graduated from Delta High School in 1970, and went to Bowling Green State University for a short time, where he learned to play the guitar and started writing songs.
In 1974 he joined The Van-Dells and has been on the road traveling for 46 years. It is the only group he has been in and is still currently a managing partner of The Van-Dells. He plays the straight man, known as Duke, in a 50’s & 60’s high energy show that has tight harmonies, choreography and comedy.
He married his wife Sandy in 1976 and they have raised two children, Kasey (33) and Kyle (28), who are both drummers. He started writing songs as he learned to play the guitar and has been building a library of songs.
In April 2015, his oldest son Kasey convinced him to do a CD of his original material. A Kickstarter promotion raised the money in less than a month to begin recording. “The Highway” is now available to the public. All the songs are written by Stacy Todd and produced by Kasey & Stacy Todd.
He is also doing shows on the side to promote his new CD “The Highway”. In his show he does several covers from artist like James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot and several oldies favorites from The Van-Dells. Stacy has written a Christmas song titled “That Christmas Feeling” that was released in November 2017 and is now available on ITunes and other online music outlets.
