The Rock Show Bio!
The Boys and Toys Story...
Boys and Toys: The Ultimate Rock Experience
Boys and Toys burst onto the scene in June of 1990, bringing together the dynamic trio of Steve Kollman, his brother Chris Kollman, and Jon Ianni. The 90s were all about big amps and rack mountable effects dominating the stage, and these "toys" were the heart and soul of the band's electrifying performances. This passion for powerful sound and cutting-edge gear inspired the unforgettable name: Boys and Toys.
With their trademark big amps and high-energy stage presence, Boys and Toys deliver a Rock Show that is nothing short of spectacular. Every performance, no matter the venue, is a High-Octane Rock Spectacle. Because for Boys and Toys, it's always about the Rock Show!!!
