Todd Dachtler
About this event
Todd Dachtler, an 18-year-old singer-songwriter and multi-genre performer, brings his dynamic solo show to The Rising Sun in Reading's city centre. Armed with his loop pedal and professional PA system, Todd creates the rich, layered sound of a full band from the stage alone. His repertoire spans pop, 80s classics, indie, folk, and Britpop, alongside contemporary hits – each track reimagined with his own distinctive style and energy.
A regular fixture on the Kingston upon Thames busking circuit, Todd has developed a genuine talent for connecting with audiences and commanding a room. He's recently made waves on the national stage, earning his Golden Ticket at American Idol after impressing in the opening rounds. Whether you're after nostalgic singalongs, indie favourites, or something more eclectic, this is an evening of accomplished, engaging live music from a rising young talent.
Join Todd at The Rising Sun for an intimate yet polished performance that proves you don't need a backing band to fill a venue with sound and spirit.

More Information
Hi, I’m Todd, an 18-year-old singer-songwriter and live performer with regular gigging experience. I frequently busk in Kingston upon Thames, where I’ve developed a strong stage presence and the ability to engage diverse crowds. I perform a wide repertoire covering multiple genres and eras, adding my own unique flair to well-known songs. Using a loop pedal, I build live arrangements to create the sound of a full band as a solo artist. I also provide my own high-quality PA system, ensuring a professional sound setup for any venue. Most recently, I auditioned for American Idol and successfully made it through the first round, receiving a Golden Ticket from Lionel Richie.
