“When Toby Walker straps the guitar on, the notes fly at a rate
that is dizzying. They dance with speed, grace and precision. The
effect is one of steel-like strength. His blues are a flash of muscle
and his gentle fingerstyle ballads speak poetry.” ~ Richard Cuccaro – Acoustic Live.

Internationally and nationally acclaimed Toby Walker has

the US, England, Wales, France, Germany, Belgium and Holland. Walker
