Todd Snider (Facebook.com Photo)When Todd Snider takes the Walker Theatre stage in a solo show on Saturday, he will have in mind a certain member of the audience that he will be performing for. Actually, it could be more than one person, but it’s essentially the same person he tries to reach with his music at every show.
“The main thing for me is I like to think of myself as someone who sings to someone who is [messed] up.”
Snider said he has made enough mistakes and bad decisions for just about every member of an audience, so if people can see themselves in him, or learn from him, or just be glad they aren’t him, he’s good with that.
“I get to every gig and think ‘Use me.'”
