Ashley Toman and Mollie Marcuson (replacing original harpist Patricia Kline) will be showcasing arrangements of METALLICA songs from their album, "Harptallica - A Tribute", as well as previews from a planned follow-up release.

HARPTALLICA hopes to find European audiences as receptive as those they have seen in the course of their three stateside tours over the last two years. The girls aim both to introduce audiences to new and original combinations of musical styles and to, of course, give tribute to a band they were individually introduced to as a "musical giant": METALLICA.

HARPTALLICA has had performances featured on WGN-TV and various Fox network stations across the country, and has been hailed as both the "pacifiers of hardened rock enthusiasts" and the "harbingers of metal to the classical community."

Toman conceived the idea for HARPTALLICA in 2006. She was inspired by her husband, Ben Toman, fellow musician-turned-tour-manager/roadie and a big METALLICA fan.
