Overview
We are a four piece, guitar-driven, garage-style rock band regularly appearing at bars/breweries/wineries in WNC, E. Tenn. & Upstate SC. We'll do stuff from various Rock, and some Country genres, from the 50s through 90s... and occasionally, beyond! Basically, we're a straight-ahead, fun-loving, stripped down, keep-it-simple rock band.

August 17, 2023Fun band with talented musicians!
We hosted The Toe River Bandits first ever live performance and I can’t wait to see what this project becomes. They play fun songs, crack some funny jokes, and they all have great stage etiquette. I’m sure we will see them become one of the most popular acts in our area.
Hired as: Cover Band

What to expect
We have a sizeable repertoire so we can tailor our songlist to the event or venue. We provide straight ahead rock music, with some classics thrown in. Our music spans the 1950s to present day.
About
We're the Toe River Bandits and we play guitar driven, straight ahead rock music. We also mix in a few timeless standards and a bit of alt country. We're from Spruce Pine NC and have been together since July 2023. Here's our musician lineup:
Dale Garrison - Lead guitar and vocals
Mike Andreas - Guitar and lead vocals
Jim Plato - Bass and vocals
Tom Blalock - Drums and percussion
Additional booking notes
We have our own sound system so we only need a reliable power source. Of course, we're happy to use any in house sound if that's available. We're a four piece band, so adequate stage space for that size is required. We don't have lights, but those aren't a must have for us, just as long there's enough light to adequately see.
