Toby Redd
a Detroit based band popular in the 80’s, came together to play a reunion show on April 20 at the Fillmore. They opened for The Stone Temple Pilots for the WRIF’s 40th Anniversary show. On the next night they opened for drummer Chad Smith’s Bombastic Meatbats at The Ritz in Warren. Drummer Chad Smith went on to play in the band The Red Hot Chili Peppers starting in 1988.

He got together with vocalist Denny Backos, bass player Dennis Martz, and guitar player Tony Cutino to play for their fans. Guitar player Tony Cutino, a custodian at Mark Twain Elementary School, put together the band in 1975, and the group released their album “In the Light” that received major label attention in 1986. Tony released his first solo album, “All I Wanna Do,” in 2008.
