Toney Rocks
“Toney Rocks’ voice is cool and
sweet, rocking and lyrical.”
— Kathy Forste, music director of
KC Cafe Radio
An American Forrest
“An American Forrest is the words
and music of Forrest Van Tuyl. The
sensation of his songs hang around
like smoke long after the night is
gone.”
— Sean Jewell, American
Standard Time
Margo Cilker
Bart Budwig
“Sometimes when Bart sings, I
forget what we’re talking about. I’m
sure he knows though. I trust him.
He sounds like John Prine, plays
like Hoyt Axton....
Songs spring from the dreams of
his noon day naps, and punch the
keys of his typewriter. When words
won’t take, he calls ’em in with a
bugle of his trumpet, or a strum of
soothing guitar.
