Any fellow Toni Childs fans on this forum? (There's a tangential David Baerwald connection: Toni sang backing vocals on David & David's "Boomtown" and David Ricketts co-wrote songs on three of her albums.)

I always thought of her as America's answer to Kate Bush. (Never heard her? Check out this song, "I Just Want Affection," as a showcase of Toni's distinctive and emotional voice: https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=k2hiMn2IMyY)

Toni released three fantastic art-rock records, culminating in 1994's The Woman's Boat, which featured a duet with Peter Gabriel and guitars by Robert Fripp and her longtime cohort David Rhodes.

Toni is running an IndieGoGo crowdfunding campaign to mount a worldwide tour (including USA, Canada, Europe) that will feature a stunning and truly innovative stage show - see preview video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkCE-D_P6Sc

The rewards on her IndieGoGo campaign will be of interest to fans. For starters, she is going to release The Vault, an album of unreleased songs, including some that were intended for late '90s album "Bare," which was never completed.

Also available via IndieGoGo as CDs or downloads are Toni's two most recent, self-released albums, "Citizens of the Planet" and "It's All a Beautiful Noise." They're both stunning records - I think "Citizens of the Planet" is probably her best-ever album. Here's a music video from it, "What Do I Do About You": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZW1T1rJmkHM

There's also a new, 2CD "Greatest Hits," which features songs from all her albums.
