Toby-Jack - Blues Weekender Festival 2026

Toby-Jack Little creates blues from his soul. His distinctive heavy-picking right hand rings out every carefully crafted note and phrase with a unique rhythmic and tonal signature sound.But his mastery of blues guitar is as rooted in restraint as it is in technical skill. A trait he shares with the true giants of the genre.He is now joined by bluesman extraordinaire Martin McDonald! Martin is very well-known across the UK blues community, having graced the finest festival stages for many years. The signature styles of the two guitar masters complement one another perfectly.They are backed by the hugely-experienced, solid and sympathetic rhythm section of Rod Mackay (bass) and Sandy Sweetman on drums.
With influences including BB King, The Vaughan Brothers, Gary Moore, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Eddie Floyd, Peter Green, Albert King, Otis Redding, Albert Collins and Louis Jordan, Toby-Jack deliver a melodic, harmonic and rhythmic treat!Toby-Jack stood out with expressive, heartfelt guitar-playing that marked him as a serious emerging talent. - Blues Matters Magazine, August 2025
