After killing us with kindness on his most recent album, Beans On Toast and the band are on tour…
HONESTY WARMTH AND WIT
Essex-born folk troubadour Beans on Toast has been charming audiences with his candid songwriting and engaging live performances for nearly two decades. Blending humour, politics, and storytelling, he has built a dedicated fanbase through constant touring, playing festivals across the globe and packing out venues big and small, whilst adding to a vast and varied discography that celebrates life and the human spirit with raw honesty, warmth, and wit.
The Kill Them With Kindness album from 2025 was recorded at Greenmount Studios in Leeds with The Beans on Toast Band, that features a collection of insanely talented musical friends hand-picked from the UK music and festival scene: Abbi Phillips – Drums; Bassie Gracie – Bass; King Killership – Keys; Memphis Gerald – Guitar; Ruth Lyon – Fiddle.
“We’ve done a few tours together, but this was our first venture into a studio. Each one of them is amazing, and together… well, I’m proper chuffed with how it sounds,” Beans On Toast says. “This album is a bit of a juxtaposition, as is the title. There are songs that deal with the current state of the world. Wars, maniac leaders, the rise of AI and the fall of the establishment. Then there are songs about trees, late nights in music venues, art, love and my new cat. As usual, it’s a time stamp of my thoughts and feelings from the past year on planet Earth.”
His live shows are unpredictable and full of heart, where the line between artist and audience disappears, literally, and every gig, whether a heaving festival crowd or an intimate backroom gig, feels like a wild night with an old friend. Expect songs, stories, chaos and community in equal measure.
