Dialog is a part of The Medicine Show and a theatre setting, be it as humble as hay bale seating, is recommended for the audience. This show is usually performed under a tent provided by the purchaser. Seating which allows close contact with the audience is best. For the Medicine Show, Doc provides a portable backdrop or his medicine wagon stage plus sound equipment.

"A solid mix of good humor, fine musicianship and excellent vocal harmonies." – Feature Magazine

Doc and Di Toler have sung their "feel good music" coast to coast and border to border since the 1960’s. Music columnist Jim Ash says of them, "When these folks play, it’s like being on a Hill Country back porch with a cold beer and a four day weekend ahead of you. Yeah, that’s them alright- Texas back porch, pure and simple."

Doc began professionally performing self-penned tunes in the late ‘50s. Son of the son of a sawmill man, many of the songs are colored by early life spent in logging towns throughout East Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. Later material reflects years along the Texas/Mexico border, Gulf Coast and current haunts in around the Texas Hill Country.

Born in Brownwood, Texas Di Toler spent her formative years on an extended family farm outside Red Lick, Texas. "When all our folks got together, which was often, that’s what we did – sing. Second part harmony was my favorite and that’s what I do with Doc." The driving cadence of Di’s acoustic "dog house" bass is the heartbeat of the band.

Banjo Toler was born on a cattle ranch bordering the Red River in North Texas and was taught fiddle at an early age by neighbor Louise Rowe, an original Bob Wills Texas Playboy. Banjo (real name) began working professionally at age 7, playing twin fiddle with her sister. Long a favorite on the festival circuit, Banjo triples on mandolin, banjo and fiddle (from ol’time and Cajun to Orange Blossom Special), and sings third part harmony with Doc and Di. She currently lives in San Antonio, Texas.

Chuck O’Connor chose music as a life long career in the 1960’s. Early on he sharpened his natural guitar skills with jazz great Phil Cooper. Throughout the ‘70s and ‘80s Chuck worked with top session combos and toured with diverse club acts. During the 1990’s he formed, managed, and toured 40 weeks annually for 8 years with his own innovative and immensely popular band, I-TEX. For the past two years O’Connor’s touch and sense of melody have made his lead guitar and dobro a much-loved cornerstone of The Doc Toler Band. Chuck O’Connor makes his home along the Devil’s Backbone in Comal County, Texas.
