2025

On the road

TOBY MAY is heading back out on the road! 

 

After a few years focussed on recording in his Unagi Sound studio in Geneva, he's preparing to do what he spent most of his twenties doing: gigs, more gigs and seeing the world.
 

To begin, he's playing shows in his home town of Geneva and Europe and then, in very exciting news, he's embarking on his first Australian-Asian Tour in April 2025. In Australia he'll reconnect with his long time collaborator, Things of Stone and Wood's Greg Arnold, and play some solo shows as well. A true new millennium troubadour, Toby will be presenting his broad catalogue to a totally new audience, with the direct simplicity of a voice and a guitar, and with his signature mastery of the looper.

 

Toby is a "poptimist". 

While his music has an introspective depth with the occasional hint of emotive melancholy, he always brings it back into the sunshine with explorations of resilience, hope, and community connection.

With more than 30 years of international experience in the music industry, he is a lyricist, composer, arranger of numerous projects and over time he has become a key multi-instrumentalist-producer on the Swiss pop-folk-rock scene. As the creator of Unagi Sound studios and label, Toby May unites his network around songs for the benefit of meaningful and unifying art.

MELTING OUT NOW

 

"It’s ok it’s me I’m melting, go about your day you're freezing"

 

It's time to dive into the new single Melting - the latest single from Swiss/UK singer-songwriter Toby May. 

A heartfelt love song, dedicated to Mother Earth, the track combines poptimistic energy with simple acoustic charm.

 

Delivered in Toby's classic stomp and strum style, the incredible Irish fiddle stylings of David Duffy, add a layer of seriousness to the message. Things of Stone and Wood's Greg Arnold signature backing vocals work their magic again, creating a harmony that's as inviting as it is reflective. Despite its weighty subject matter, Melting invites you to sing and stomp along, delivering its message with hope and humanity.

Released in celebration of Toby's nephew, Sami's birthday, this track is close to his heart ... and Sami's favorite part? The sailor-style “ohohoh’s” choir—a playful yet powerful echo of 2022’s Hold Fast Stay True from the NEVER FALL album. Like a call from the crew of a ship, be they pirates, or navy seals, the song is a sonic reminder to have poptimistic fortitude when one could so easily fall into despair.

Join the celebration, let’s sing for the Earth, and make Melting your next favorite tune! 🌍🎤❤️
