Toby Walker is an award winning guitarist and entertainer who tours the US, United Kingdom, and Europe. He was the 1st place recipient of the International Blues Challenge in Memphis and has been inducted into the NY Blues Hall Of Fame.
Walker has taught at Jorma Kaukonen’s Fur Peace Ranch, The Swanannoa Gathering, and many other guitar camps. He also has eight instructional DVD’s on Homespun Music Instruction.
Walker traveled to the deep south where he studied with traditional blues and folk musicians such as Eugene Powell, James “Son” Thomas, and Etta Baker
“If he doesn’t get them with his phenomenal guitar playing or catchy songs, he gets them with his wonderful stories. True entertainers have an engaging spirit that puts a smile on your face. Arlo Guthrie has it. David Bromberg has it. And so does Toby. ”

Robin Schaffer is a singer/songwriter who prefers not to sing, so she’s asked five of her favorite Folk Project friends and performers to sing tonight (so she doesn’t have to). She is delighted to present Elizabeth (Betsy Rose) Lachowicz, Jean Scully, Kathy Moser, Tina Ross, and Christine DeLeon as her “Imposter Roster.” Robin is a product of the Folk Project’s mission to develop local artists through workshops, open stages, members shows and music parties. And although she received accolades within the wider Project community as a noted and accomplished songwriter, she is best known for marrying the guy who hires opening acts at the Troubadour.
