Thomas Handy
Born in Windsor, Ontario in 1949, Thomas is a self-taught guitarist/composer. His first influences were from his mother, a pianist, organist and teacher who appreciated all things musical, and early lessons in classical violin. By high school, he had found the acoustic guitar and began an evolving journey, beginning with an interest in folk, roots, blues and popular styles, followed by explorations in jazz, contemporary music and world music traditions. Since 1968 he has been active in diverse musical realms: as an accompanist for some of Canada's finest singer songwriters including Colleen Petersen, Doug MacArthur, and blues/jazz/ragtime singer/guitarist Mose Scarlett, a touring theatre group musician, and collaborator on Kingston and Toronto based jazz duos and trios
