A note from Aimless, Inc. on Snider’s social media pages reveals that he will be unable to perform for an undetermined period of time.
- Todd Snider is a 59-year-old singer and songwriter from Portland, Ore.

The High, Lonesome and Then Some Tour had just begun on Oct. 30, followed by a night off on Halloween and then Saturday night’s event. No further details about the assault have been made available, nor is the nature or extent of Snider’s injuries known.
Last Thursday, Snider shared his excitement for the tour.
“We pulled into the mountains of Colorado with some beautiful fall weather and new tunes to play in support of the new album,” Snider’s team writes on Instagram.
“Todd will be joined by an ace band of troubadours, including Joe Bisirri, Robbie Crowell, Ted Pecchio, Erica Blinn, and Brooke Gronemeyer!”
Through the years, Snider has written songs recorded by Jack Ingram, Robert Earl Keen, Mark Chesnutt and more.
