A Soft Rock Revival Just Miles from Lehigh Valley
The Sherman Theater, a cultural anchor in the Poconos and beloved by music fans throughout eastern Pennsylvania, will host TOAST – The Ultimate Bread Experience on August 11, 2025. This isn’t just a concert—it’s a time machine. With musical precision and passion, TOAST has earned acclaim for reviving the distinctive sound that made Bread a Billboard mainstay in the 1970s.
“TOAST delivers a feel-good show packed with nostalgia and the beloved soft rock classics that defined a generation.”
For music lovers in Lehigh Valley, this event offers the rare chance to hear Bread’s greatest hits—live and faithful to the originals—without having to trek to Philly or NYC.
Why TOAST Is More Than Just a Tribute Band
While tribute bands are everywhere, TOAST stands out for its pitch-perfect harmonies, stage presence, and heartfelt dedication to authenticity. Helmed by Jeff Clark, whose vocals and instrumentation closely mirror Bread’s lead singer David Gates, the band is composed of veteran musicians including:
-
Brett Hart – drums, vocals
-
Rich Bischoff – lead guitar
-
Ken Shumway – bass, vocals
-
Troy Jolley – keyboard, percussion, vocals
-
John Hanson – sound engineer, guitar
This isn’t karaoke or cover band filler. TOAST has a reputation for sounding “spot on”—so much so that audiences often forget they’re not seeing the original band.
“With Bread’s original members David Gates and Robb Royer enjoying retirement, TOAST continues to honor their legacy.”
Timeless Hits You’ll Hear Live
Bread fans know the emotional depth and melodic beauty of the band’s catalog. With 13 Billboard Top 100 singles, Bread was the quiet giant of the ’70s. At the Sherman Theater, expect to sway and sing along to:
-
“Make It With You”
-
“If”
-
“Baby I’m-a Want You”
-
“Everything I Own”
…and many more. These are the kind of songs that defined slow dances, late-night radio, and long road trips—and they still hold power today.
TOAST doesn’t just play the notes—they capture the emotion of Bread’s music.
