A Bit About Wilton Said...
Wilton Said... likes to write lyrical topics which explore the places which others may find uncomfortable. This can range from the homicidal school shootings in "No Other Way" off of 1999's release "World up my Ass", the ode to the oversexed pearl necklace stalker in "All for You" off of 2001's release "Broken", through to the public washroom romp in "What I've Seen" of off 2004's "The Butterfly Plague". His most recent of his releases titled "The View" (2006) takes a look at topics that we can all relate to but don't necessarily want to. The struggle to find an identity so we may fit in, the lust for control and domination to soothe our own weaknesses, struggles with addictions and deceit, and the coming to terms with hopeless situations.
Musically, WILTON SAID...'s style can be referenced back to his experiences of classic art rock artists such as Kate Bush, Queen, Peter Gabriel, Supertramp, and (older) Genesis. More recent inspired contributions range from A Perfect Circle with their release "13 Steps", David Bowies 2002 release "Heathen" and Radiohead's "O.K. Computer". All have added inspiration to the rich eclectic texture of his music and to his strong baritone vocals.
While Wilton's past studio and live experiences has had an assortment of musicians backing him up, his current and most stable line up consists of the textural stylings of Guitarist Chris Reid, the groove and grounded Bass playing of Frank Heisler, and the subtle yet intricate Drumming of Richard Rizzo.
WILTON SAID..., who holds a Degree in Musical Composition from York University, has been performing in the G.T.A. promoting his various CD's through live shows, interviews. For more information regarding future shows and events, please visit the website at www.wiltonsaid.com

Just dropping by to spread some holiday cheer. Visit http://www. myspace. com/murraystevexmas to hear some favourite Christmas songs I recorded a few years ago with a friend and former bandmate.
I should have recognized you earlier, at the entrance. You asked me how I found about the fest. I then mentioned MySpace/real friends that were to perform. But you too were one of them and first of all it was from MySpace bulletins from this page and from NUANCE's page that I found out about the fest in the first place, this spring maybe. I even had to check the fest's schedule yesterday again, before coming, after I found out Clara Engel had another musical commitments yesterday. And, mind you, one of my friends came to see a band called "Half Past Four" that did not perform yesterday there, and this after the set that was supposed to start at ...4:30pm.
And then you took the stage. Great set and great performance. Hope to see you again playing sometime soon
