For close to a decade, a lot of people have been asking for the Emporia Granada Theatre to book Big Head Todd and the Monsters for a concert. The show happened Saturday night and was high-energy from start to finish.
The concert was a fundraiser for the Granada. Totals are pending. The show was also a big deal for lead singer Todd Park Mohr, the grandson of late Emporians Jarvis and Anna Burch.
The band formed in the mid-1980s and has 11 studio albums and five Top-30 US mainstream rock singles, including “Boom Boom,” to its credit. The current US tour wraps up next month.
The Granada, meanwhile, has Josh Gracin performing the annual All Veterans Tribute on Veterans Day, followed by Exile on Dec. 16.
