Hydra – The Australian Toto Show

Band Overview

Hydra – The Australian Toto Show

Hydra – The Australian Toto Show is a dynamic Australian tribute experience dedicated to celebrating the music and legacy of Toto.

Formed through a shared passion for the iconic sounds of Steve Lukather, the Porcaro brothers and David Paich, Hydra brings together a collective of accomplished musicians with a deep respect for Toto’s catalogue, musicianship and live performance legacy.

The project began with guitarist Michael Uberti and former keyboardist Jeremy Zatorski, whose shared ambition was to create an Australian Toto tribute show. Together with Ashley Warner on drums and Millie Clifton on backing vocals, the band’s nucleus was formed.

Over several months, the group expanded to include Michael Emmerling on bass, G-Man on vocals, Roger Nicholson on keys and synth, Jason D’Rozario on keys and piano, and Nick Agathos on vocals.

Hydra’s vision is to honour Toto’s profound musical legacy, with a particular emphasis on the era defined by legendary drummer Jeff Porcaro. Through detailed performances and genuine passion, Hydra celebrates Toto’s vast body of work while preserving the art of live musicianship.
