Roadhouse Concert III - Toby Walker

Buddy & Sandy Cleveland are hosting their 11th house concert, Roadhouse Concert XI, when the award winning Blues guitarist, Toby Walker, returns to the Roadhouse in Glenmoore, PA. The concert takes place on June 29, 2019.

Internationally and nationally acclaimed Toby Walker has been hailed as a roots music fingerstyle guitar wizard who has toured the US, England, Wales, France, Germany, Belgium and Holland. Walker has been featured in the New York Times, the London Sunday Times, the London BBC, Sirius-XM radio and was the 1st place winner of the Solo/Duo division in 2002 International Blues Challenge sponsored by the Blues Foundation in Memphis TN.

Walker blends the styles of blues, ragtime, country, bluegrass, rock and old time jazz into his own unique style. Jorma Kaukonen of Hot Tuna and the Jefferson Airplane says "Flat out... you have to hear this great musician... I'm blown away" and has employed Walker to teach at his famous Fur Peace Ranch Guitar Camp for 6 years. In 2010 Walker won the NY Music Award for 'Best Instrumental CD,' sharing the honors with Mariah Carey, Rufus Wainwright and Judy Collins among many others. His latest CD release - What You See Is What You Get - has been hailed as a shining success in the genre of traditional blues recordings. Carnegie Hall acknowledged his rare talents and hired him to augment and teach in their "American Roots" program aimed at honor level middle school students.

Toby has received many awards, including:

2014 Inducted into the N.Y. Blues Hall of Fame
2010 NY Music Award For Best Instrumental Album
2009 Bronte Blues Award - England
2006 NERFA Formal Showcase Performer
2002 International Blues Challenge Award presented by The Blues Foundation

Whether it is telling the humorous and heartwarming tales of other masters, talking about his inspirations, or astounding you with his mastery, his performances are a feast for the senses. The audience is moved in ways that delight them long after the encores. You can catch a taste of these stories on his Web site in Learning From the Masters section. But make no mistake about it - he is to be experienced live. Those fortunate enough to attend one of his shows will vouch for that.

This event will be an intimate, solo concert by one of today's most entertaining and important roots music artists. More information about Toby, including music samples and performance videos, is available at his web site: www.littletobywalker.com.
