TOBY WALKER is an award- winning guitarist and entertainer who tours the US, United Kingdom, and Europe. He was the 1st place recipient of the International Blues Challenge in Memphis and has been inducted into the NY Blues Hall Of Fame. Walker has taught at Jorma Kaukonen’s Fur Peace Ranch, The Swanannoa Gathering, and many other guitar camps. He also has eight instructional DVD’s on Homespun Music Instruction. Walker traveled to the deep south where he studied with traditional blues and folk musicians such as Eugene Powell, James “Son” Thomas, and Etta Baker. “If he doesn’t get them with his phenomenal guitar playing or catchy songs, he gets them with his wonderful stories. True entertainers have an engaging spirit that puts a smile on your face. Arlo Guthrie has it. David Bromberg has it. And so does Toby. “- John Platt – WFUV
“Flat out… you have to hear this great musician… I’m blown away“ Jorma Kaukonen. https://www.littletobywalker.com
