I got to spend some time with Heath Mahon, Toby’s monitor engineer before the show. We took a quick trip back to my office in  Nashville to grab few A56D drum  mounts at Heath wanted to use them on the kit as well as out 3 on his leslie cabinet.

Toby hit the stage at around 8:45 and the crowd was ready!  Horns, keys, vocals, a DJ, a vocoder, and even a talkbox made for an incredibly entertaining show.  His band is super tight and FOH engineer Ryan Lampa had it dialed in.  At the end of the set, Toby and his band invited several of the camps’ musicians on stage

to jam along.  They had a blast and it all culminated in the group “taking us home” singing “Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye!”

Stay tuned for a video interview with Toby, which will probably be online sometime in September.
