Ali Tod & Mira Grimm

Scottish guitarist and singer Ali Tod blends modern percussive fingerstyle guitar techniques with classical training and loop-pedal mastery, to create a live acoustic experience that gets hands clapping, hips shaking and feet stomping. If Rodrigo y Gabriela and KT Tunstall combined to make a one-woman show, it would be Ali Tod.

Growing up in Edinburgh, Scotland, Ali was the founder of the Edinburgh Guitar Night, a series of live concerts in Scotland’s capital city, showcasing some of the best guitarists from around the world.

Ali has performed with her idols, GRAMMY award-winning musicians Rodrigo y Gabriela, after the Mexican guitar duo discovered her covers of their songs on social media. She since went on to perform alongside Gabriela at the winter NAMM 2020 event and performed with world-renowned bass player Nathan East, GRAMMY award winning musician Daniel Ho and thrash-metal legend and Testament guitarist Alex Skolnick. Ali has also played alongside Gabriela at several benefit concerts in Mexico.

She has performed alongside GRAMMY award winner Brandi Carlile numerous times, singing with the Americana star at her female-led music festival Girls Just Wanna Weekend in Cancun, Mexico. She proved to be such a hit with fans, that they petitioned to have her play an official set. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ali also performed original compositions in several of Carlile's livestreamed concerts.

In January 2020, Ali performed as part of the Women of Fingerstyle Guitar event run by Fretmonkey Records, alongside legendary female guitarists such as Kaki King, Vicki Genfan, Muriel Anderson and Christie Lenée.

In October 2021, Ali supported world-renowned fingerstyle guitarist and winner of 'World's Best Acoustic Guitarist 2020' Jon Gomm on the Scottish date of his UK tour.

Ali has performed at the Zihuatanejo International Guitar Festival, Ards International Guitar Festival, Belfast Guitar Festival, London Guitar Night, Manchester Guitar Night, Edinburgh Guitar and Music Festival, Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival, Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Aberdeen Jazz Festival.
