The duo hosting the Tuesday acoustic jam at South Shores in Lake Worth is called TOST (tostmusic.com), for “The Other Side of the Tracks.” Which is appropriate, because Clay Goldstein and Julius Sanna couldn’t have come from more different backgrounds.

Goldstein is a Lantana-based blues singer/harmonica player from Baltimore who used to be the mascot for the Orioles, the city’s Major League Baseball team. His Web site features additional skills in visual design, photography, and educational ropes courses.

Sanna is a Lake Worth-based singer/guitarist from Tanzania who moved to the United States to attend college on a soccer scholarship. He’s now worship and youth minister and musical director for the Lake Worth First Church of the Nazarene.

But the duo’s musicality, and additional combined interests in all styles, made for successful universal dialogue with each other and all participants on a recent Tuesday.

“I was looking for a guitarist who was a strong rhythm player and could sing and solo,” Goldstein says, “and Julius is the whole package.”

See TOST from 7-11 p.m. on Tuesdays at South Shores Tavern, 502 Lucerne Ave., Lake Worth (561-547-7656).
