Wild
"T"
Tony "Wild T" Springer
has hung with the best of them. David Bowie, Jeff Healey,
Bon Jovi, Deep Purple, Jay Leno, David Letterman and Arsenio
Hall are just some of the musical acts and personalities that
have been blown away by Wild T's guitar.
Wild T is originally from Tunapuna, Trinidad. Though one
may find similarities to Jimi Hendrix, ironically it was T's
first exposure to Steve Howe and classic Yes that inspired
him to take up guitar.
Moving to Toronto, Canada, T quickly
gained a reputation on the local club circuit. Since then
he has recorded two albums (Love Crazy 1991
and Givin' Blood 1995)
with his own group, Wild T and the Spirit for Warner
Brothers. He has also recorded an album (Black Tie, White
Noise) with David Bowie and has appeared with Bowie on The
Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with David
Letterman and the Arsenio Hall Show.
He has toured with Bon Jovi and Deep Purple throughout North
America and has performed thousands of club shows. Recently
he was asked to portray Jimi Hendrix in the Monkee Movie for
TMN because of his resemblance and showmanship.
