The Band
Toni released her first album “This Fire” last year. Since then her songs have been getting solid airplay in US, Europe, NZ, and Australia.
Toni’s style fits comfortably into alt.country, blues and funk with a couple of interesting Latin pieces she wrote for a film script. Toni belts out gutsy vocals while playing tasty rhythm and finger picking guitar with her excellent backing backing band.
The band includes bass player extraordinaire Ian Hobbs and drummer Tex Austin (also plays with the Bobkatz) . This rhythm section really drives this outfit with some slick lead playing by Eddie Norbido.
Toni performed at the Songwriters’ Showcase at the Urban Country Music Festival in May and with her band
Eddie Norbido and me
at “Taterstomp” at the Troubadour in June. She has regular gigs at The Pavilion West End and The Kiln, Paddington.
Toni was recognised with an award by the Tamworth Songwriters’ Association last year for her song “Touch the Sky”, and won first place in the Gold Coast Country Music Festival.
Toni has a unique sultry melodic voice with a wide range. Combined with her sensitive songwriting, she is original and refreshing to listen to.
