Texas Toast

Texas Toast is a psychedelic country band that features touring musicians from Jaybone Bell and Restless Light, The People Brothers Band, Barbaro, Sleeping Jesus and My Grandma’s Cardigan who have all made their home in beautiful Winona, MN. The band has captivated audiences in the last year with sets at Boats and Bluegrass Festival, Blue Ox Music Festival and Wise Fest and at clubs in Wisconsin and Minnesota. What started as a country band turned into an exploration of our various influences including and not limited to R&B, Psychedelic Jam, Folk, Bluegrass and Pop/Dance while remaining in tune with the aspects of classic country music. Texas Toast features original music combined with covers of their influences. The band gives itself the freedom to keep each show unique with different setlists along with a throw caution to the wind mentality while exploring their own music and are not afraid to go deep on a tune to take it to new places of exploration. Something special is always bound to happen when the band hits the stage.
