Named in honor of MTB co-founder Toy Caldwell, who passed away in 1993, Toy Factory Project features Southern rock torchbearers Marcus King and Blackberry Smoke frontman Charlie Starr at the helm, along with Dead & Company bassist Oteil Burbridge, multi-instrumentalist Josh Shilling of Mountain Heart, fiddle virtuoso Billy Contreras, and original Marshall Tucker Band drummer Paul T. Riddle.
The band’s debut performance drew primarily from The Marshall Tucker Band’s classic mid-1970s catalog, from the Southern rock anthem “Can’t You See” to the spiritually charged “Searchin’ for a Rainbow”, plus fan favorites like “This Ol’ Cowboy”, which featured special guest Béla Fleck on banjo, and “24 Hours at a Time”. Fleck returned to the stage along with mandolin virtuoso and new grass trailblazer Sam Bush for “Long Hard Ride” and sat in on “Blue Ridge Mountain Sky” toward the end of the set.
The only departure from the MTB songbook was a cover of the Grateful Dead’s “Fire on the Mountain”, which the band cleverly paired with Marshall Tucker Band’s song of the same name. Oteil sang lead vocals while receiving supplemental oxygen to offset the effects of Telluride’s high elevation.
