The Toasted Coconuts is a “honky tonk” band based in central Indiana. The band lives in the “Americana” genre covering a little of everything but leans toward country and southern rock. The band was originally formed in 2005. Original members included Mike Holmes on guitar and vocals; Jeremy Sells on drums and vocals; and, Jim Newell on bass and vocals. The band stopped gigging in 2007 due to Holmes’ relocation from Indianapolis to Terre Haute. However, the band reformed in 2022 after Holmes retired from the full time USAF/Air National Guard. As of 2023, Jumpin’ John Allen replaced Jim Newell on bass.The Toasted Coconuts continue to gig primarily around central Indiana but have ventured to Chicago, Cincinnati, and Nashville as well as a few other spots as they re-establish themselves and their brand of music.The band is working on their first recording and hope to release something in ‘24.
