‘The group have become known for their dancy, high-spirited shows’- Lucas Dean, Hotpress ‘This band is known to be energetic and entertaining, and to reliably cause a serious bop. Toshín on lead vocals has an undeniable stage presence that gets the whole crowd moving. She is Lizzo meets Aretha Franklin, and takes the role of front woman to a whole new level. She is playful, powerful, and theatrical, and the band grooves devotedly along with suave-funk energy’- Elina Filice, Red Vine ‘These guys have it all – showmanship, charismatic persona and proficient musicians to tie it all together in one joyful melodious bow. Toshín are a must see.’- Indie Buddie ‘Dubliner Tosin Bankole is a superstar in the making. Backed by a seven-piece band, including Bicurious guitarist Taran Plouzané, Toshin delivered an attitude-drenched set of groovy soul as she opened the Body & Soul stage on Friday evening.’ - GoldenPlec Since 2016, Toshín have been refining their sound to the point at which you see them today. Fronted by Tosin Bankole, the energetic 7-piece draw on influences such as Tank and the Bangas, James Brown and Aretha Franklin to refine their jazzy, poppy sound. Themes of feminism and the female experience take centre stage in their music, with songs such as 'Girl Go Off' and 'Boy Listen' proving popular among their Dublin fanbase. Original songs and covers to form an electrifying live show not to be missed!
