This stellar lineup includes Greg Phillinganes, Paul Jackson, Jr., Freddie Washington, John Robinson and Neil Stubenhaus.
Toto were formed in LA in the late 70’s by a group of friends who were all much in demand session musicians. They went on to epitomize the classic American pop/rock sound of the 80’s and 90’s with hit albums and singles including Hold The Line, Africa, I’ll Be Over You and the multi-Grammy winning worldwide hit Rosanna.
