Through Toledo is the second studio release by San Diego, California-based singer-songwriter Greg Laswell. It was released through Vanguard Records on July 11, 2006. It is generally in the singer-songwriter style, with Laswell writing, producing, mixing, playing all the instruments, and even providing the illustrations for the liner art.[3] The music's generally wistful and melancholy feel comes from his experiences with the breakup of his marriage.

Opening track "Sing, Theresa Says" won a San Diego Music Award for Song of the Year in 2007. The song "High and Low" was featured in a 2007 episode of Smallville, and "Come Undone" was featured in the promotional trailer for the 2009 film adaptation of Veronika Decides to Die.
