About Me

Toby was born in Mesquite, TX by Mike and Shelia Thomason. Toby was given a harmonica by his grandfather at the age of 14. He then began to play along with any song he could (mainly gospel songs). Years later he began to play the guitar and was able to put alot of poems he had written to music. In the year of 1998 Toby went off to college in Abilene, Tx with dreams of becoming a baptist missionary. He spent 2 years there before he couldnt ignore his music any longer. Not to mention that Baptists arent really allowed to drink shiner or sip on turkey while they are fishin. Now Toby resides in Austin, TX and he is playing music any chance that he can. He gives his music away for free and usually plays for free. With a library of over 200 original songs he has been known to play for a while. Please feel free to download any songs or send Toby a message and ask him how to get a copy of his CD called "The Reckoning" for free. Thank you all for your support and coming by to listen.
