Artie Tobia
Artie Tobia is an established original artist whose influences are readily present when he takes the stage. BB King’s Blues Club NYC had this to say about him upon his return performance. “You can’t fake a voice like Artie Tobia’s — it’s something you have to earn. Every note, like every lyric, rings with a hard-lived authenticity that, even during this so-called explosion of “roots rock/ Americana, is in very short supply. Now this five-time Gold Coast Award winner has been piling up the plaudits.” Demonstrating a versatility to navigate varied genres and connect with his audience, Tobia has shared the stage with; Poco, Richie Kotzen, Blue Öyster Cult, Dr. John, Jefferson Starship, Kansas, Tanya Tucker, The Subdudes, David Cook, Chip Taylor and Kenny Wayne Shepherd.
