Toast and Jam- Saturday - 3:00pm
Toast & Jam was supposed to be a little sideline project - something that would fill a couple nights every month. Well that was in 2003, and so much has happened since then! We're busier than we ever expected to be, and we're lovin it! There's no sign of slowing down, and that suits us fine. And more challenges are ahead of us: we're crossing the border into the U.S. on a regular basis, and making a name for ourselves in more and more places, like Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky, Colorado, and more! All this from a simple idea out of Mark's head: an acoustic duet, with a unique percussion kit, an acoustic guitar, and some good harmonies to fill the sound!
