Wild T and the Spirit is led by guitarist Tony (Wild T) Springer. He has been part of the Canadian music scene for almost 30 years, and during that time he has achieved legend status!.

Originally from Trinidad, Tony grew up surrounded by reggae & calypso music, but later he was also turned on to rock, blues & jazz. After he arrived in Toronto, he quickly made a name for himself as the wild guitar player around town. Jeff Healey said … ”I saw a man with endless imagination, a man that could combine that imagination with emotion that you couldn’t help but feel. I followed him around town like he was the messiah! Wild T has been my idol for years!”.

The Michigan Blues Society said … ”Wild T is building a reputation as being the next premier guitarist to emerge from the Canadian music scene!

He has also played guitar with artists such as ‘Rough Trade’ & ‘David Bowie’. With ‘Rough Trade’ he would record new tracks for the 1985 compilation Birds of a Feather, and a national tour took place in 1986.

With David Bowie, he performed on the album “Black Tie, White Noise” in 1994 and performed concerts and made talk show appearances all over the USA.

David Bowie said…. “Tony is an absolute delight to work with. He has a lyric, lilting take on Hendrix!”.
