The Bullfrog Blues Club are proud to announce that the one and only LITTLE TOBY WALKER - on tour from New York - is at The Cellars, 56 Cromwell Road, Eastney this Wednesday! Toby is not only a top class acoustic blues/roots singer and guitarist he's a great raconteur, and this promises to be a great night! Toby's appeared at Bullfrog Blues Club nights at South Parade Pier, and he's always gone down a storm! Toby, the winner of the prestigious Memphis International Blues Challenge Award, is an exceptionally gifted finger-style guitarist, singer, songwriter & storyteller. He's one of the finest Piedmont and Delta influenced guitar players alive. His music draws from traditional and contemporary blues, roots, western swing and ragtime. This is one helluva performer, as well as being a really nice guy - it’s been said of Toby that he’s "a man who can capture the soul in torment, the soaring wings of love as well as the low-down and dirty side of life. He’s a raconteur, translator, interpreter and composer for the human condition". He is steeped in the tradition of men and women who made their guitar a mirror of the sweat, blood and tears of life. His ancient National rings with the power that only a soul man can give and his electric forays are stirring reminders of the emotional impact that music can make on the maker and receiver. Toby Walker's "Plays Well With Others" album =2 0hit No. 5 in the prestigious US Music Choice Blues Charts in 2007! (B B King only made it to No. 8 !!).
