Toad in the Hole- Aparment 203
by John Christen
Toad in the Hole is a collaborative force that joins more than two-decade’s worth of Colorado music scene expertise. Stacked with talent, Apartment 203 is a blossoming collection of urban folk-rock and adult album alternative that resembles Bela Fleck and the Crooked Stills. The five-piece band blends a cello, banjo, upright bass, drums, acoustic guitar, and harmonica into graceful, confident, and seductively delicious intricate harmonic arrangements. Simpler put, this band has depth for days.
“Shackled to Liars” is dynamite, exploding, crisp, sultry fire. Kristi VanDeWalker’s lyrics tantalize in “Fire Girl.” “Wiser” is catchy, with exquisite instrumental interplay that marches the song in step with defiant words of astute savviness. Eclectic, multi-faceted, jazzy, Toad in the Hole is intoxicating. Colorado is blessed to have such a high-quality music scene. If you enjoy local favorites like Devotchka and the Lumineers, then Toad in the Hole will gain your affinity.
