Todd McBride

JULY 10, 1964 – JANUARY 16, 2023 Todd was born and grew up in Griffin, Ga. He had a lifelong love of learning and music, with a sharp mind and a strong circle of friends. After leaving Griffin he settled in Athens and began to pursue his dream of a career in music, playing guitar in The La Di Das, then forming one of the town’s legendary rock and roll bands, the Dashboard Saviors. He served as the band’s leader and chief songwriter as they achieved heights most musicians could only dream of—a record deal, tours across the U.S. and Europe, and positive write ups in prestigious publications like the Los Angeles Times and Rolling Stone magazine.
