Live Shots: Trish Toledo’s retro soul took Brick & Mortar for a ride

Seems like all too long ago, but it’s worth revisiting the way Trish Toledo of Carson, California took the crowd at Brick & Mortar back to the olden days on December 11. The singer was born into show biz, thanks to her musician father, and that fluency came through in a smooth set that called back to the SoCal sounds of yesteryear. Missed the magic? No tears! Not only was photographer D.A. Mission on hand to document the pretty people, on and offstage, plus Toledo will be back in San Francisco for a gig at The Chapel on March 19, cruising towards a run of summer of gigs that will include Austin Psych Fest. — text by Caitlin Donohue
