Jake the Merch Guy Joins Rich O'Toole

This just in! Jake the Merch Guy is all healed and ready to hit the road again. Jake has landed with Texas' own Rich O'Toole & he's anxious to connect with all Rich's fans.



Rich O’Toole is honest to goodness Texas talent with a spicy presence in his music that can only be found hailing from a state that has a reputation for everything being bigger – and Rich proves this rumor true with huge lyrical passion, a gigantic portion of daring subject matter that’ll leave any listener wide-eyed, and massive on-stage energy. This energy hasn’t fallen one bit even after four ...years of touring nationally. It’s only increased, and for Rich, that’s the plan for the rest of his career. Rich’s new record showcases passion, mixed with honest songwriting, and spun into guitar driven country/rock melodies that are noticeably present in his latest single “The Cricket Song”, released in February. This single is only one of many on the record that beg each listener to be a part of Rich’s story and sometimes, the story pushes the envelope without tipping it over. Crowd-favorite “Marijuana & Jalapenos” is a Texas anthem that’ll have you trying to grin around the tongue in your cheek.



This never-give-up mantra has led Rich to accumulate a die-hard and dedicated fan base over his years of touring who could sing every word to each song on the night’s set list. Night after night, he offers audiences an energetic and intimate performance that could only be described as “Bruce Springsteen meets Country Music” and if you ask him what it is that fuels these performances and his recent success, he’ll reply with one word: passion. “If I didn’t love playing city after city so much, I wouldn’t do it. There’ll be times when I leave the stage soakin’ wet because of how much energy the crowd and I shared.” Intriguing song content, melodies that will have you riding on verve, and the determination to present an ever-increasing on-stage dynamism to audiences across the U.S. make Rich O’Toole a Country Rock force to watch out for.

Rich will be at the Catfish & Country Concert w/ Brandon Rhyder in Sulphur Springs TX Saturday Night. Are you ready??


And oh yeah, tell Jake the Merch Guy his mama sends her love.
