WASHINGTON — Singer-songwriter Todd Snider, a longtime fixture of the alt-country and Americana scenes, has died, according to a statement from his label, Aimless, Inc. He was 59.

Snider, known for his sharp storytelling and humor, was remembered by his team as a “Folk Hero” and “Poet of the World.”

“He relayed so much tenderness and sensitivity through his songs, and showed many of us how to look at the world through a different lens,” the statement said. “He got up every morning and started writing, always working towards finding his place among the songwriting giants that sat on his record shelves, those same giants who let him into their lives and took him under their wings, who he studied relentlessly.”
