I am so excited to announce that I recorded an acoustic live version of my song "One Day" for WHY and Hard Rock's SERVE4 charity album. It would mean a lot to me and to WHY if you went and checked out the record!! And spread the word! Doesn't it feel good to do something good!?!!

Hey everyone,

Toby's tour with Stephen Kellogg and Carbon Leaf kicks off tomorrow and she's looking for a few merch helpers at each show. What does it take to be a merch helper? A willingness to talk to other fans and arrive at the concert a little early (and maybe stay a little late). If you want to help, e-mail thefrontrow@nettwerk.com and include your name, phone number, age and what show you're interested in helping at.

hey guys
just checking in...  just got back from an awesome few shows in New York, Chicago, and Minneapolis.  Such a great time and a great crowd.  I'm in the process of confirming shows down south with Aslyn.  we've had some scheduling conflicts, so make sure you check out the dates to see what shows are on... 

So, i'm trying to get more involved in tweeting and facebooking and well.... overall, how can i get my music out there without sitting in front of my computer and playing songs like everyone else.  so i posted the rockwood show and now we have a few live recordings, but i was wondering if you guys had any cool and different ways that you think i should try.  something that you haven't seen anyone do and have said to yourself, that would be really cool if someone.....  now let's keep this tame;).  just thought i'd open the forum.
tweet away.  
i'm tkilla by the way..

just wanted to write to check in!  i'm busy getting all these shows together and i hope that you are all planning on coming down (well to a city close to you that is:)  i hope to be getting around the country more as the months go on.  indie world is awesome, but makes touring a wee bit tougher.  But i'm up for the challenge!  although, today it is rainy and makin me WAAAAY too tired for 5pm...  well, i'm off to practice for my joe's pub gig tomorrow night. hope all is well!

Toby's second video from her Live at Rockwood web video series is up now on Youtube. Check it out....


Thursday, June 18, 2009 
There's an intimate little venue in New York City called Rockwood Music Hall where some of your favorite singer-songwriters try out new songs. Toby is a Rockwood Music Hall regular and a fantastic director named Laura Crosta filmed her entire set at Rockwood this past April. We'll be posting one performance from that show every week for the next few weeks on Toby's YouTube Channel.



Click here to watch the first video for her song "Lazy" on YouTube and to check out her other videos on YouTube.

P.S. If you have a YouTube account, make sure to click the subscribe button to automatically be notified about the new videos.

well, it's been about 5 years in having this myspace account and i STILL haven't gotten the hang of writing blogs...  i miss you all!  i wanna go all over the place and tour, but boy is it a lot more challenging without a label.  BUT i do get to write all these new songs and NOt put them on an album:)  one of them is actually in the movie 17 AGAIN.  did i tell you that already?  sorry if i'm being repetitive..  like i said... blogs...  anyway, i'm so excited to get my first indie song placed in a movie.  and you can check it out here and in T KILLA's WORKSHOP on my website!!  thanks to everyone who already did.
