BR 'Wild T & The Spirit' fronted by guitarist Tony 'Wild T' Springer, is a powerful blues-rock jam band based in Toronto, Canada. The band has released 4 Cds and is currently touring all over Canada and Europe. The band has built up a strong & loyal fan base of musicians and music loving fans over the years with it's powerful live show! Jeff Healey said, "I followed him around like he was the Messiah...Tony has been my idol for years!" Strong songwriting and strong musicianship has made 'Wild T & the Spirit' a very in demand act! Originally, the band came together in 1990 with guitarist Tony 'Wild T' Springer, drummer Danny Bilan and bassist Nazem Lakay. The band was signed to Warner Music Canada and released 2 albums (Love Crazy 1991, Givin' Blood 1993) and then broke up in 1997. During this time, guitarist Springer was also asked to tour & record with David Bowie. "A absolute delight to work with...a lyrical, lilting take on Hendrix" says David Bowie. Springer appears on the CD "Back Tie, White Noise" and performed with Bowie in concert all over the US. Tony then left for Chicago, USA and countinued gigging as a sideman with many great blues bands. Tony returned to Toronto, Canada and in late 2002, the band 'Wild T & the Spirit' was reformed by Springer and bassist Guenther Kapelle. Kapelle had spent many years gigging and recording in the Los Angeles music scene and had toured all over Canada, USA and Europe with 'The Blazers' and other top acts. With addition of drummer Brian Lass and keyboardist Peter Nunn, the group recorded the CD "True Bliss", which was released in Canada, USA and Europe in 2004. The band then began a relentless tour schedule of Canada and Europe with drummer Andre Tellier and keyboardist Robert Angelow...which kept the band touring through 2005. A compilation CD of the first two 'Wild T & the Spirit' albums called "I've Got The Rhythm" was released in 2005. In August 2005, drummer Boris "The Russian Rocket" Andranov joined the band just in time for their 2 month, 7 country, European tour. But in March 2006, the band made a few changes by recruited powerhouse Toronto drummer Chris Lesso and returned to the power trio format minus the keyboards. This line up of Springer, Kapelle and Lesso is the best yet, and has made their fans in Canada and Europe go crazy for there live concerts! Look for a live album and a studio album of new material for a 2007 release. If you wish to purchase any of our CDs ("TRUE BLISS", "I'VE GOT THE RHYTHM") you can order them online at CDBABY.COM or pick them from the stage at one our concerts in your area! We'll see you soon, Peace & Love....Wild T & the Spirit Here are a few videos of "Wild T & the Spirit" back in the 90's. Enjoy! BR |
