American Heartland: Missouri Musician Todd Mosby and Producer Jeff Weber Engage an All-Star Lineup to Capture the Soul of Missouri

St Louis, MO (April 3, 2026) - Sparing no time nor expense, Missouri-born musician Todd Mosby and Mosby Music Group announce American Heartland, a 12-track collection that unites contemporary jazz and folk, New Age, solo acoustic guitar, blues and jazz-rock to capture the soul of his home state. Recorded primarily at The Village Studios and mastered at Bernie Grundman Studios, American Heartland is available for streaming, downloads, and as an 8-panel CD with a 16-page booklet with poetry, images, lyrics and stories about the music.

On American Heartland, Mosby is joined by two-time Grammy-winning producer Jeffrey Weber, associate producer and score supervisor Michael Clark, and top-shelf musicians Vinnie Colaiuta, Tom Scott, Leeland Sklar, Luis Conte, Michael Manring, Dapo Torimiro, Nick Lane, Lola Kristine, Laura Vall, Dan Fornero, Judy Kang, John Dickson, and Bruce Carver.

Mosby's music synthesizes the show-me sounds of Missouri into his own genre-defying, evocative language blending jazz, folk, new age, country, blues, and even samba, to create richly-textured geotemporal soundscapes. In addition to Jeffrey Weber, Mosby has also worked extensively with world-renowned, multi Grammy-winning contemporary folk producer/guitarist and Windham Hill Records founder Will Ackerman. Mosby crafts sophisticated yet accessible music, in the tradition of artists like Steely Dan, Wes Montgomery, James Taylor, and Joni Mitchell. His compositions feature compelling melodic structures and complex instrumental passages that appeal to both seasoned musicians and casual listeners alike.

The production of American Heartland reflects a thoughtful collaboration across some of the industry’s most respected studios and engineers. Recording and mixing were led by Clark Germain, with the album mixed at WonderWorld Studio in Hollywood, California, and additional support from assistant engineer Nicole Schmidt of Village Studios. Additional recording sessions took place at Shock City Studios in St. Louis, Missouri, engineered by Sam Swaine, while select solo acoustic guitar tracks were mixed by Tom Eaton at Sounds & Substance in East Kingston, New Hampshire. The project was mastered by renowned engineer Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Los Angeles, ensuring a polished and dynamic final sound. Visual elements were equally considered, with photography by Andrew Matusik and art direction and design by Allie Oliver-Barnes, completing a production that is as cohesive visually as it is sonically.
