Toad the Wet Sprocket: RIngs - The Acoustic Tour

Few bands have earned the kind of devotion Toad the Wet Sprocket inspires. Since forming in Santa Barbara in 1986 — four friends, Glen Phillips, Todd Nichols, and Dean Dinning & Randy Guss, met in a high school theater group and named themselves after a fictional Monty Python band. The band has spent four decades making music that, as Phillips himself puts it, reaches toward the light even when there’s shadow in it. Their debut album, Bread & Circus, recorded DIY- style in a tract home for just $600, caught the attention of Columbia Records and launched a career defined by an uncompromising independent spirit. That spirit paid off: Fear (1991) went platinum and spawned top-20 hits “All I Want” and “Walk on the Ocean,” followed by a second platinum album, Dulcinea (1994), featuring fan favorites “Fall Down” and “Windmills.”

Rings: The Acoustic Sessions is a beautiful and timeless album reimagining Toad the Wet Sprocket’s most beloved songs, revisiting their hits and fan favorites with intimate, acoustic arrangements that highlight their enduring warmth and honesty. Like the rings of a tree marking each season of growth, these songs trace the band’s musical journey — and our own — with grace, depth, and hope. The fourteen-track collection takes their most powerful and enduring songs and rebuilds them from the ground up. This is not a nostalgia record. It’s a living document of a band still deeply invested in their own catalog.

Rings: The Acoustic Tour — an intimate, once-in-a-lifetime fan event celebrating four decades of songs that have meant everything to the people who love them.

“If you’re feeling isolated and you need to gather yourself back to remember how much you love your life, music is your friend,” says Glen Phillips. “We want people who come to our shows to feel at home for a while.“
