BIO
Led by the exhilarating vocals of Barbara Tobler, Crimson Coil will take you on a tribute journey to iconic heavy-hitting female vocalists of the late 60‘s through the present day. Described as soulful originals with a firecracker edge! Barbara Tobler is a versatile, dynamic singer and performer, who is known for her ability to sing in different styles and languages including classical, jazz, broadway, pop and rock. Barbara found her roots in opera after winning the Austrian American Society Vocal Competition, sending her to live and study at the prestigious Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria. From there she went on to sing in popular well-known opera houses in Italy and Germany, eventually landing in Switzerland where she was under contract with the St. Gallen Opern for four years. Upon returning to the United States, Barbara went on to receive her Master’s Degree in Vocal Performance, and continued to sing lead roles in opera and musical theater up and down the eastern United States. After moving to San Diego, Barbara took an interest in singing other styles of music and began singing for corporate entertainment companies and touring in her French song inspired cabaret show called ‘Chant du Coeur’. She went on to form a trio called Lyriphon, featuring two virtuosic Brazilian guitarists, specializing in light jazz and samba, and she is currently the lead singer of the psychedelic-rock blues band, Crimson Coil. In addition to her continued successful singing career, Barbara has established herself as a sought after vocal coach in San Diego and the surrounding areas. She has studios in downtown San Diego and Carlsbad, California.
