Some of you may or may not be aware that there has been a change in the appearance of The Stiff Wires, and we just recently did two shows with our new lead guitar player 19 year old Bryce Cody. It has been a few short weeks since he joined and has fit right in.
Bryce is a London, Ontario resident and has been performing in the local scene for several years now in such bands as No Strings Attached and more notably Bring Down Whitey. Bryce also plays several instruments and adds a real new intense dynamic to the band.
After shows in Guelph and The Legendary Horseshoe in Toronto it became clear to us as a band that Bryce wasn't just going to fill in as previously thought, but he would be a valued member to the band in replacing the recently departed Jamie Barber on lead guitar.
As a band still building and refining our sound and music there comes times when changes become necessary to ensure the future of the band and its potential success. This is one of those times. Although it's sad to lose our best friend and one of the last 3 founding members of The Stiff Wires, it was a move that needed to happen sooner rather than later to ensure the momentum of The Stiff Wires in a forward, and upward direction. A statement on Jamie's departure will be released shortly, as there is still some business to be finalized as it relates to Jamie.
