They say that laughter is the best medicine, but for Canadian guitarist and songwriter Darren Michael Boyd, music has been the ultimate cure. After a life-altering car accident, the Ottawa, Canada musician started his solo instrumental career as a form of therapy for the physical and psychological complications that followed.
Six releases later, Boyd’s Spooky Surf guitar sound has landed him as a nominee at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, Tenessee, as a nominee for the prestigious Josie Music Awards. He was nominated for Musician of the Year (Guitar).
The Josie Music Awards is the world’s largest independent music award show.

It’s a real honour,” said Boyd.
