All-Star Marshall Tucker Band Tribute Toy Factory Project Set For New Year’s Eve In Atlanta

Tribute supergroup Toy Factory Project announced a New Year’s Eve concert. The project honoring late The Marshall Tucker Band songwriter/guitarist Toy Caldwell will come to Atlanta’s Fox Theatre on December 31.

Led by MTB founding drummer Paul T. Riddle, Toy Factory Project is an all-star affair also featuring guitarist/vocalist Marcus King, bassist Oteil Burbridge (Dead & Company, The Allman Brothers Band), guitarist/vocalist Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke) and keyboardist Josh Shilling (Wynonna Judd).

For the NYE concert, newgrass great and fiddler/mandolinist Sam Bush along with percussionist Jimmy Rector (Oteil & Friends) will also be on hand.

Making their live debut at the 2025 Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Toy Factory Project has delivered choice shows throughout 2026. The band will cap the year at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre — where southern rock band Widespread Panic has rung in the New Year for most of this decade — on December 31.

“I’m counting down the days until I can see everyone and we get to play at the Fox,” Paul T. Riddle said. “It’s one of my favorite places to play!”

Presales for Toy Factory Project NYE get underway on Wednesday (August 26) with tickets going on sale to the general public on Friday, August 28 at 10 a.m. local.
