Tosco Music Party Gems . . .

There's another ~ TMP ~ fast approaching!
You know they sell out every show, 
so if you don't have your tickets for April 16th...
better hurry!



One of my favorite performers from the last show was
~ Rachel Platten ~
and of course the drummer she brought with her!
WATCH THE DRUMMER!

{live at Holton Theather in January}

"Beautiful, but not brazen. Passionate, but never preachy. Populist, but definitely not prosaic. New York City singer-songwriter, pianist and beatboxer. Rachel Platten is by no means your average headliner-in-the-making. Her Rock Ridge Music debut, Be Here, is a bewitching collection of 10 wise-beyond-their-years piano-driven pop songs that echo elements of Alanis Morissette, Carole King, Tori Amos and Regina Spektor, while retaining a singular sense of self that is rarely found in such a young performer."
