Diesel, A Bookstore in Oakland welcomes local acoustic band Smooth Toad back to the store on Friday, April 26th from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. Come hear the sweet sounds of these veterans of three art forms: music, poetry, and theater.

Their repertoire ranges from such traditional classics as “Mole In The Ground” and “The Parting Glass” to original twisted tunes. Sometimes, they’ll throw in an original poem or two in lively musical settings. Band members: G. P. Skratz: vocals, guitar. Hal Hughes: vocals, fiddle, guitar. Bob Ernst: vocals, blues harp, percussion. Andy Dinsmoor: Toad Emeritus, vocals, lead guitar. For a preview, visit the band on myspace.

This event is free and open to the public!
