Toucan Echo Podcast Toucan Echo

Want a sneak peak of some new Toucan Echo songs before they are released?



Or wondered what goes on at a Toucan Echo practice session? Well now you can find out!



See if you dug into our archives (and you'd have to dig because we buried them deep under the Amazon river), you'd find a BEAK-TON of demos, jams, performances and other things that James and Harry cook up, but never release to the world.



That cuz we record all our practices and usually go through a few versions of songs before they're ready to record. Heck, given we never play a song the same way twice live, imagine what we're like behind closed doors, ha!



Anyway, I (James, hello) wanted to do an experiment by using the podcast to share sneaky behind the scenes looks, like demos and jams we do in the practice room. Thought it might be fun. And gave me a flash back to my student radio days. Here you go!



Let me know if you enjoyed by emailing james@toucanecho.com or DM us on our socials! :)

We've re-branded our regular live stream as 'Jungle Jams' - as they're too good to leave on Facebook.

So welcome to Episode 1, where we jam new songs and old!

Note - this is mostly music, not much speaking like our regular podcast!!

Bit of a rockier Jack White / Doors / Hendrix vibe to this one.
