Out And About
with Toby Lightman
At Joe's Pub in New York, 9/16/2025
This week's Out & About features our client and friend of What's In-Store Music, Toby Lightman, kicking off her North American tour at Joe's Pub in New York. 2025 has been a good year for Toby. Not only is she having a successful tour, but she also had her first number 1 single with her anthemic hit "Higher", about aging in the music business. And she recently won her very first award, the SONA (Songwriters Of North America), Emerging Songwriter Warrior Award! Not too shabby, huh? Make sure to keep your ears peeled and SHAZAM handy as "Higher" continues to play overhead in thousands of retailers across the country, and check the link below for upcoming tour dates.
Have a great week,
Scott Emerson
