He is best known for playing bass with Ani DiFranco but has also led his own group, Todd Sickafoose's Tiny Resistors.

Sickafoose has been a member of the bands of Jenny Scheinman, Scott Amendola, Adam Levy, Allison Miller, and Noe Venable. He has performed and recorded with Don Byron, Trey Anastasio, Nels Cline, Ron Miles, Myra Melford, Skerik, Stanton Moore, Bobby Previte, Will Bernard, Jessica Lurie, Erin McKeown, Carla Bozulich, Etienne de Rocher, Shane Endsley, Tony Furtado, Darol Anger, Andrew Bird, Art Hirahara and John Zorn.

At the age of 13 Sickafoose began playing double bass after seeing Edgar Meyer perform. He later studied with Charlie Haden and then with Mel Powell at California Institute of the Arts. He moved to Brooklyn, New York's vibrant music scene, joining many musical friends that were residing there. Sickafoose began playing with Ani DiFranco after opening for her on tour in 2002 and 2004.

Critic Steve Greenlee of JazzTimes states Sickafoose's 2008 release Tiny Resistors is one of that "year’s most compelling listens." The CD also received positive reviews from NY Times and USA Today.
