   About Toby Bonar
"Despite a startlingly brief apprenticeship, Bonar exhibits a remarkable musical gift."
excerpt from St. Petersburg Times article by Louis Hau

"He sings with all of his soul, and his guitar work is some of the best we've seen."
excerpt from Tre Amici Music, April 19th Show Recap

"A singer/songwriter and astounding acoustic guitar picker, Bonar has recorded a superb debut album of country-blues originals that speak to matters of the heart and the anxiety of coping with modernity, phrased in contemporary language that still suits the genre."

Awesome lineup. Don't miss this!

Carries is in Conroe. If you turn right on Fraizer at the end of the outletmall (Waffle House and Wendy's) you will come to a T in the road. Turn left and Carries is about 1/4 mile down on your left.

Hi Toby, how are things up there? I am sure you're extra busy with all the concerts (your schedule is pretty tight indeed..!), but should you have the chance, try and pass by my profile, there's a anew video of me performing Before You Accuse me with a beautiful singer, we did this at a gig last thursday..
And when new arise for the distribution of your CD, please let me know!
