Among the artists whose music is represented by the Black Toast Records Label are Elijah Honey, Hermanos De Alma, Arias Troubadours, St. John, Sonny Ellis, Paul Otten, G-Stack and Kelly Pardekooper. Black Toast has previously placed music from these indie artists within “Dexter”, “True Blood,” “Treme,” “Homeland”, “Supernatural,” “Modern Family,” “Weeds,” “How I Met Your Mother,” “Sons of Anarchy,” “CSI Miami,” and countless other entertainment properties.
