Local Band Plays at Diesel Books Friday Night
The trio will present a free performance from 7 to 9 p.m.
Smooth Toad, a local acoustic band, will appear at Diesel, A Bookstore, 5433 College Ave., Oakland, on Friday, May 31, from 7 to 9 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
The store's website describes the band as "veterans of three art forms: music, poetry, and theater."
Their repertoire ranges from such traditional classics as “Mole In The Ground,” “KC Moan,” and “Eyesight to the Blind” to many original twisted tunes, and sometimes they will throw in an original poem or two, Diesel reports.
Band members are G. P. Skratz: vocals, guitar. Hal Hughes: vocals, fiddle, guitar. Bob Ernst: vocals, blues harp, percussion.
