"Putting Todd Back Together"
[09-09-09] at Antone's
A Benefit for Todd V Wolfson

$20 in advance/$25 at the door
To purchase tickets in advance:

Doors: 6pm / Live Music from 7pm to 1:30am+!

Antone's

213 West Fifth Street ATX 78701




Todd V. Wolfson, award-winning Austin photographer
noted for his insightful portraits of Austin's musicians
and lifestyle, is on a forced hiatus due to a career
-threatening bicycle wreck. On July 11th, leisurely
cruising neighborhood streets on a pre-dawn ride,
Todd hit a patch of defective pavement and was
thrown over the bike's handlebars into the street
-- landing squarely on his right elbow and head.
His elbow joint was split in half and he sustained
two additional compound fractures in that arm.
His head injury required 11 stitches, and he
suffered numerous internal injuries.


A highly skilled orthopedic surgeon repaired Todd's arm
with 16 pins and two metal plates. After several
months of healing and physical therapy Todd will
be able to use his right arm again to create the
artistic portraits that have won him so many fans.
But until that time comes, Todd is out of work
-- facing staggering medical bills and a long road
of painful rehabilitation.


Todd has lived as part of Austin's artistic community
for 30 years, generously giving his time and skills to
fellow musicians and artists. He has devoted many,
many hours to creating posters, promotional pictures,
and album covers for numerous charitable causes.
He also grants nearly unrestricted access to his
copyrighted images at no charge to his artist subjects.
Because of his generous spirit, Todd is blessed with
the friendship of some of the most talented people
in the world. A benefit concert is planned for
September 9, 2009 at Antone's nightclub in Austin.
