Album: Todd Fritsch (Produced by Doug Deforest for Route 66 Productions)

For Texas native and country entertainer Todd Fritsch, "Git ‘er Done" is not a catchy saying: it’s a way of life. And, for this handsome real-world cowboy, gettin’ the job done is the norm whether he’s on the family’s cattle ranch or on stage. "I started driving a tractor when I was so little I had to stand up to reach the clutch," says Fritsch. "By the time I was 13 or 14, I was building up my own herd of cattle. My Dad is a great teacher and ours is a first-generation ranch that has become a major player in the South Texas pre-conditioning livestock market. My sister Rachel really urged me to sing, and I performed some when I was in junior high, but by high school I was focused primarily on sports. I ran track, played baseball and basketball."
