Beans On Toast – The American Dollar
Beans On Toast began playing in 2005, rising from the London folk scene. He opened proceedings at Glastonbury Festival in 2007 and has played each year since. He supported Kate Nash at London’s Hammersmith Apollo in 2008. Last year he temporarily “morphed into a rap/hip-hop artist and after sacking his band on New Year’s Eve he formed a full on country band for 2010”.
He now tours with the seven-piece folk band Handshake who provide backing at all live shows, becoming the ‘Beans Experience’. Both performed and recorded as part of the Communion collaborations in 2010, featuring Lissie, Angus & Julia Stone and Mumford & Sons, which was due for release in 2010. He also recently supported Frank Turner at his Wembley Arena show in April 2012 playing to over 10000 people.
Beans On Toast released his 50-track ‘Standing On A Chair’ in 2009, produced by Ben Lovett from Mumford & Sons. It features guest vocals by Emmy The Great, Frank Turner and members of The Holloways, amongst others.
