Tobin has driven trains, flagged out planes, delivered groceries to John Prine (among other notable names), and had his mustache complimented by a US Senator. 

He has shared the stage with such diverse and prestigious acts as national headliners Fall Out Boy and OKGo, top tier songwriters including Jeffrey Steele and Jason Sellers, indie stalwarts such as Nada Surf, and the Smoking Popes, and Americana stand-outs like Bobby Bare Jr., and the Deslondes. He has performed coast to coast, seen his music placed in TV shows, commercials, and video games, and remained a consistently productive songwriter throughout.

Recent good fortune has led to a new collaboration with an experienced and enthusiastic group of bandmates whose contributions result in a unique, infectious, freewheeling sound that draws from classic and cosmic country and western, malt shop rock & roll, rockabilly, cowpunk, and jazz. 

The songs have been met with enthusiastic reception from a wide variety of audiences, and seen significant radio play on college radio, and streaming online radio outlets including Gimme Country and Amazing Radio in both the US and Europe. Tobin’s debut album Lessons In Lonely has been released in the US via I Gotta Guy Records, and in Europe via De Groeverij. This was followed by a series of singles.

Another series of singles is planned for release in 2024.
