TOTO’s story began on January 7, 1977, when David Paich and Jeff Porcaro joined Steve Lukather, Bobby Kimball, Steve Porcaro, and David Hungate at Davlen Studios in North Hollywood to record the first demos for their debut album. From those early sessions grew a remarkable career that has seen the band sell more than 50 million albums worldwide and win six Grammy Awards for Toto IV, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year for “Rosanna”.
Fifty years on, TOTO’s music is as relevant as ever. Their catalogue has amassed more than nine billion streams worldwide, with “Africa” surpassing two billion streams on Spotify and “Hold The Line” topping the one-billion mark. More than half of their annual streaming audience is aged 34 or under, demonstrating the band’s enduring appeal and their ability to connect with new generations. The same cross-generational following can be seen at their live shows, where fans of all ages come together to celebrate the music.
The current line-up features Steve Lukather on guitar and vocals and Joseph Williams on lead vocals, joined by Warren Ham on horns, percussion, and vocals; John Pierce on bass; Keith Carlock on drums; and Dennis Atlas and Rai Thistlethwayte on keyboards and vocals.
On July 19, the historic walls of Lucca will provide the backdrop for another chapter in the story of TOTO and Lucca Summer Festival. An evening of legendary songs, exceptional musicianship, and 50 years of music to celebrate together.
