He has spent time immersed in the local scenes of Denver, CO, Portland, OR, and La Crosse, WI, where he currently resides.Alex Toast's music infuses elements of percussive fingerstyle guitar with jazzy folk that gives his music a truly unique sound. His introspective lyrics are carried by layers of rhythmic smacks, progressive chords, and lead guitar, and they offer a hopeful view of the future and the now.
