“Paul Toshner is a pianist who mastered his instrument and performance with great skill, and with what seems like endless creativity. I recommend reading his book whether if you are a musician or not! Paul’s book "Life is grand baby" is not only a great practical guide for performers, but it holistically covers many aspects of performance and life altogether. It teaches you how to set up your gear, but also how to handle different situations in life, onstage and off. How to deal with people, how to deal with stress, how to be present – in the moment, how to open yourself to what life has to give, and much more. It could be read as a practical guide for performance but also as a parable, a guide for dealing with life. It is practical, spiritual, poetic, addresses the human psyche, written with wit and humor, easy to connect to and creative. It is well rounded – it exposes you to little details you wouldn't necessarily think of on your own as a beginning performer!” Rivka Macales, composer, pianist and music theory teacher. "I cant believe the level of artistry you're bringing to the people in these residential homes. I bet they'd never seen anything like it before". Joe Tepperman Author, theater writer, speech engineer “Fun show and great guy! Really got everyone singing and kept the energy up. He knows his stuff...... Tosh has a great stage presence, matched with a keen ability to interpret on the piano. Each set is crafted live and interactive with audiences to gain a feel for the venues he plays in around the world. Equally adept with piano and microphone, he brings large energy and encourages audience feedback in each song. This is an all ages show."
