(Newton, NJ) -- ‘90s band Toad the Wet Sprocket is bringing their chart-topping pop-rock songs to The Newton Theatre on Tuesday, July 28th at 8:00 pm. With Glen Phillips on lead vocals and guitar, Dean Dinning on bass and vocals, Todd Nichols on lead guitar and vocals, and Randy Guss on the drums, Toad the Wet Sprocket share in the kind of musical chemistry that can only come from meeting in high school and writing, recording and touring on albums over the course of those 25 years.
After debut album Bread & Circus, they followed with Pale in 1990, fear in ’91, Dulcinea in 1994, and Coil in 1997, as well as some compilations and rarities compilations along the way. While most will feel the comforting familiarity of the Billboard-charting hits, Walk on the Ocean, All I Want, Something’s Always Wrong, and Fall Down, new fans will also be well familiar with their new hits such as California Wasted which continues to climb the charts.
Even with a period of the band members weaving in and out of each other’s musical lives, the same creative curiosity that inspired the band to form in 1986 has brought them full circle to come back together again. Toad the Wet Sprocket’s current album New Constellation, was launched with an impressive #3 most funded Kickstarter Campaign in music for the year, was the bands’ first new album in 16 years when released in 2014, and features the singles New Constellation, The Moment and California Wasted.
Tickets for Toad the Wet Sprocket range from $39.00 to $49.00 and may be purchased by visiting www.thenewtontheatre.com or contact the Box Office at 973-383-3700.
