Nighswander
Guitarist extraordinaire, Barrie
Nighswander began his career at an early age as co-founder of Tacoy Ryde,
a still active group that has enjoyed considerable success on the strength
of two CD’s, one under the name JATO which was nominated Best Album of
the Year at the West Coast Music Awards.
The album produced 5 singles and two videos.
Versatility and technical prowess in his flawless playing make
Nighswander an in-demand guitarist. He
has toured Canada extensively with Tacoy Ryde and well known Jamaican
groups Third World and Steele Pulse.
He has toured Germany with Cori Brewster and continues to perform
with Al Brant and The Mavens.
Barrie’s blues chops have been
well put to use as an integral part of the sound of A Fist Full of Blues.
Both picking and sliding he is right at home with the music of the
Blues Masters or applying his ample talents as a songwriter and vocalist
on the bands’ multitude of Blues and R&B classics and originals.
