Toby Altman

in Concert

 

Join us for the fabulous Jazz Concert by Toby Altman. 

Most babies start out babbling words like “Mama & Dada” but Toby Altman’s first words were a jazzy interpretation of the Campbells’ soup commercial, “Mmmmm good.”


Everyone’s journey has different callings and she is simply answering the loudest and clearest one.


Toby has sung at the Blue Note, the Green Street Cafe, and Mikells, in NY, and performed at several annual appearances of the NY Women's Jazz Festival at Lincoln Center. Touring the Caribbean and Asia taught her that the international language is MUSIC. Now Toby has chosen to live on the North Fork where it all began.

Concert will be held under the tent so be sure to bring your blankets or chairs and of course don't forget your lunch picnic baskets.  Wine will be available for purchase by the glass or bottle.

Please do not bring any outside alcohol onto the property.

Diana D., Pennsylvania

"An eclectic experience that blends the science of winemaking with the practicality of everyday enjoyment of the finished product.

Marcel L., Connecticut
