Music, writings and art of TN: News

Todd has been busy recording his 27th album, tentatively titled "Ancestor".

The new CD will be a "sister" companion album to the popular 2008 release "Brotherhood of the Moon". There will be many cool, new instrumentals. Mr Norcross said that this project will be focusing on the beauty of the piano, something he freely admits is a challenge for him.

Look for "Ancestor" perhaps as early as the 2nd quarter of 2012.

One of Canada's largest 24 hour Weather Channel's (MeteoMedia) has purchased the right to use Todd Norcross' song "Rocking with Gods" - track 7 off of the 2011 album "Taiken 3."

Order the hit "Rocking with Gods" on Amazon.com or at Itunes or CD Baby.com

MétéoMédia is a 24-hour Canadian French language Category A specialty channel and web site, which provides weather information 24 hours a day. It primarily serves viewers in Quebec, although some cable TV systems in Ontario and New Brunswick carry the channel as well.

The long awaited sequel is here!! Taiken 3 is now available worldwide on Itunes and Amazon.com music too!

A request from Todd Norcross to please honor those who have honored us. "Week after week I watched silently as the names scrolled down. After seeing "In Memoriam" on Sunday morning's "This Week" TV show, I grew very tired of reading fallen soldiers names coming in from Iraq and Afghanistan. Some weeks there were only four, some weeks there were ten. All ages, from all States, both male and female, all ranks. These names seemed to be falling silent, even after they paid the highest possible price for our country. I didn't know what I could do to support these heroes from so far away with so few talents. All I could do is go into my home studio and compose this song in honor of the men and women who serve and protect us. While writing, I imagined them "coming home" from overseas with a full honors military funeral. Or, for the lucky ones who survived their tour, coming home to a celebratory parade with supporters,friends, and family.
Please honor these people by downloading and sending the song "Coming Home" (see the music page)to all those who ever served our country. We must never forget."
- Todd Norcross - October 10, 2010
