TOBY WALKER - Lead Vocals
Toby Walker is the man up front, responsible for projecting the vibes and persona that is Layers. A vocal student of National Studio’s Ruby Glover, Toby has been singing publicly since the age of 11.  Following his progression from church choir, to school chorus, to vocal quartet, and finally coming to rest with Layers in 1979, Toby has continually developed as both a lyricist and a proficient vocalist.

 Success in the industry is Walker’s ultimate goal, but his desire to send people a positive message through music remains a constant factor in his presentation on stage.  Toby’s presence generates an intimate aura, no matter the size of the audience or room.

 In addition to Toby’s strong, smooth vocal stylings, he is also adept at harmonica and incidental percussion.  Maryland Musician Magazine has awarded him honorable mention in the “Best Vocalist” category, and he has enjoyed sitting in with such local favorites as Wavelength and Fat Tuesday.
