Welcome to the Stuart Wilson-Smith Orchestra-aka "The SWSO". The orchestra is composed of Singer/Songwriter/Dilitante Stuart Wilson-Smith ,guitarist Mark Antoine, bassist Nick Gillies and drummer Byan Priestley.
Why this name?
The band name was chosen because Stuart had been the drummer in numerous bands all his life and was tired of being the guy in the back. So, Stuart finally turned solo after moving to Markham, Ontario where he met up with guitarist Mark Antoine. Other members were added when Stuart returned from a one year haitus in Ireland.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gives artists a chance to surface and be seen above their small basements of creativity.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes sir. But I think it even more important that I am free to write and play my own songs. When I gets to the point in a record deal when I can't do this...then goodbye record deal, hello streetcorner of downtown Toronto!
