Singer/songwriter and acoustic fingerstyle guitarist Carl Tosten is known for his expressive and energetic guitar style and his introspective lyrics on society, love, living and the pursuit of the American dream.
Victory Review writes: "Carl Tosten is a musician whose style defies easy classification. For most singer-songwriters, the lyrics are out front and the instrumentation is relegated to a supporting role. However, Tosten's superbly crafted lyrics share the spotlight with intricate and agressive guitar arrangements combining virtuosity with sensitivity and a social conscience. "Modern Acoustic" may be the best label to apply here, since his technique includes percussion, tapping and open tunings. Long instrumental intros and breaks let Carl's guitar make musical statements that complement and frame the lyrics. This approach invites comparisons with the likes of Bruce Cockburn, David Wilcox and Ellis Paul."
