The Blues Toones have now joined forces with three members of Memphis in the Meantime , one of the best Blues bands in the country, to record and gig as The Blues Toones Band. Both of their CDs, 'Let's Get It Right' and 'Made For Me' are available at gigs.
The Blues Toones will continue as a duo but will also now be gigging as an exciting 5 piece band with these very talented professionals.THE BLUES TOONES are a sparky five-piece band that play up-tempo, swinging boogie and blues to get your feet moving and your vocal chords vibrating. If you find yourself singing along to a song you've never heard before then it's probably one of the BTs own. If you find yourself singing along to a song you think you've heard before then it's probably a classic blues, jazz or rock song given the BTs treatment. The BTs sure know how to groove and their obvious enjoyment of the music is infectious!
'Blues in Britain' magazine reviewed The Blues Toones duo in September at the Upton-on-Severn Feelgood Festival and reported in their November 2007 edition:-
"The Bluestoones are Graham Toone and his wife Yvonne on gorgeous, smoky vocals and harmonica. They performed a lively set of blues, boogie and jazz. Yvonne's version of Paul Rodgers' 'Muddy Water Blues' garnered particular applause, and Graham's agile 'Honky Tonk Train Blues' brought everyone to their feet."BLUES IN BRITAIN SEPTEMBER 2008
"GRAHAM IS A GREAT PIANIST, WITH A BOB HALL TONE TO HIS BOOGIES, AND AN OBVIOUS APPRECIATION OF JAZZ. YVONNE SINGS IN AN ALMOST THROWAWAY STYLE THAT ALL BUT CONCEALS A NATURAL JAZZ-EAR, WITH EFFORTLESS TIMING AND PITCH-PERFECT CLARITY".
