The Toy Factory has officially expanded its live itinerary for May, welcoming a new collaborator to the stage. The Southern rock supergroup, which pays homage to the music of the Marshall Tucker Band and features original drummer Paul Riddle alongside a tribute to the late Toy Caldwell, has confirmed that Sam Bush will be joining their upcoming performances.
In an official announcement, the band expressed their excitement, labeling the update as “big news” and welcoming the “King of Newgrass” to their ensemble. The group noted, “We are THRILLED to announce that the legendary Sam Bush will be joining TFP for our May run! GRAMMY Award-Winning, Bluegrass Hall of Fame-inducted, and absolutely one of a kind – Sam brings an energy to the stage that has to be seen to be believed.”
The collaboration is set to kick off with two sold-out concerts on May 18-19, 2026, at the Greenfield Lake Amphitheater in Wilmington, N.C. Following these dates, the band and Bush will continue their tour on May 20, 2026, at Music at Maymont in Richmond, Va. The final scheduled appearance for this unique pairing will take place at the esteemed DelFest in Cumberland, Md.
For those interested in acoustic music and high-energy live performances, this tour represents a significant intersection of Southern rock heritage and bluegrass mastery. Fans looking for more information and ticket availability are encouraged to visit the band’s official tour page.
