Paul T. Riddle, co-founder/drummer and Grammy Award winner of the original Marshall Tucker Band, formed The Toy Factory Project in memory and celebration of MTB co-founder Toy Caldwell and his songs.
It is a band of giants honoring Caldwell's music.
Most songs are short lived. A few, such as songs by Caldwell, performed and recorded by the original MTB, live on and on. Crossover hits like "Can't You See," "Heard It In a Love Song," "Searching For a Rainbow," and "This Old Cowboy," to name a few, earned the MTB a place in the hearts of millions of MTB fans, changing a generation, and becoming southern rock royalty.
In addition to Riddle, The Toy Factory Project is:
Grammy nominated lead vocals/guitarist Marcus King (The Marcus King Band)
Grammy winning bassist Oteil Burbridge (Dead & Company, The Allman Brothers Band, Oteil & Friends)
Lead vocals/guitarist Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke)
