Wild T and the Spirit

Wild T and the Spirit

Wild T and the Spirit is a Canadian blues rock band, fronted by guitarist Tony Springer.

Formed in 1990 by Springer with bassist Brian Dickie and drummer Danny Bilan (formerly of Moxy), the band released its debut album, "Love Crazy", in 1991. Nazeem Lakay replaced Dickie on bass shortly after the album's release.

The following year, Springer was invited to play guitar on David Bowie's album "Black Tie White Noise". Following that album and tour, Wild T and the Spirit released their second album, "Givin' Blood", in 1993, and the band toured Canada as a supporting act for Bon Jovi to promote the album. "Givin' Blood" earned a Juno Award nomination for Best Hard Rock Album at the 1994 Juno Awards, and gave the band a Canadian chart hit with "Loveland".

In the latter half of the 1990s, Springer concentrated primarily on songwriting, although the band continued to play concert venues in Ontario with new members Chas Laurie on bass and John Bouvette on drums. The band reemerged in 2000 with the new album "Strange Modern". Chas laurie left the band soon after the release of "Strange Modern". The band followed up with "True Bliss" in 2003, with drummer Brian Lass replacing Bouvette, and bassist Genther Kapelle replacing Chas Laurie. Jeff Healey and Carole Pope also appeared on "True Bliss" as guest musicians.
