Toby Thomas Churchill

If Shakespeare had replaced some of Romeo's angst with a bit of wit and resourcefulness, we might have seen a character closer to Toby Thomas Churchill. The Duluth gem plays simple yet disarming compositions, moving easily between keyboard and guitar and pairing his melodic inventions with droll lyrics that reach for your heartstrings. From tracking his love in the afterlife to communicating with his late father through the music of Pink Floyd, Churchill's sincerity will lure the romantics, while the subtle dose of humor could win a cynic's appreciation.
