Face-melting, Indian classical, Americana, reggae, peak of your trip. Amphibious royalty reigning over vast expanses of diverse and uncharted lands.
"Toad King’s music is high energy, danceable, inward, and high quality... each show has its own life and direction, substantially influenced by the subtle feeling of the audience, with the musicians and audience ultimately forming one energy.
" - Fairfield Today
We are Toad King, and we hail from the heart of the midwest: Milwaukee. Toad King thrives on group improvisation, weaving free-form sections into tight, dance based songs. We play mostly original music, with styles including folk, reggae/dub, and rock. We cover songs from artists including Bob Marley, The Allman Brothers, The Beatles, Ryan Adams, Robert Walter and The Grateful Dead.
Toad King is a quartet, featuring Jamie Mitchell on guitar, lap steel and vocals, Kramer Kelling bass and backing vocals, Bryan Rogers ..boards, organ and vocals and Scott Roush on drums and percussion.
Toad King has opened up for national touring bands including Bustle in Your Hedgerow - featuring members of the Benevento/Russo Duo, Ween and Particle - and Sam Holt of Outformation, Stir Fried, and many more.
Toad King has also opened for some great Wisconsin bands, including Fat Maw Rooney, Stealin' Strings and The Erotic Adventures of Static Chicken.
Come on down to a show, and bring your dancing shoes, we love to see you shakin'!
