I am extremely excited and blessed to share with you that I’m scoring my first full feature film. This is an independent production, which is currently filming in Austin, Texas with the working title of “Kings Of The Evening”. This new opportunity will keep me busy throughout the summer months.

On June 3, 2007, I will perform with the “Original Blackbyrds” as special guest at the Capital Jazz Festival in Columbia, MD. This is exciting and significant in that this will mark the first time in many years that we have all performed on the same stage together. The ‘Original Blackbyrds” are Keith Killgo (drums), Orville Saunders (guitar), Joe Hall (bass) and Kevin Toney (piano and keys). Concord Records has recently released two new Blackbyrd compilation CD’s…“Happy Music” The Best Of The Blackbyrds and “Lovebyrds” Soft and Easy (www. concordmusicgroup.com/newreleases). During the 1970’s, The Blackbyrds had huge US and international success releasing three Gold Albums (City Life, Unfinished Business and Action),
a #2 Billboard single “Walking In Rhythm”, a Grammy Nomination for best Instrumental Group for my original composition “Unfinished Business” and major performances around the world. This reunion promises to be special!

I’m putting the finishing touches on my latest recording project …”A Grateful Heart” (Kevin Toney plays solo piano) and will update you with more information soon. Birthday shouts go out to my son, Jason on March 19 and yours truly on April 23.

Peace and Blessings,

Kevin
