Quote: "...Celestial Ruin made a wicked choice in guitarist for the night...Troy Toma was absolutely outstanding. His may be the best live guitar performance I have ever witnessed. Halfway through the set he provided an interlude of intense shredding alone on stage that was one of the highlights of the night for me." http://www.peacearchnews.com/entertainment/surrey-musician-changes-his-tune-and-goes-country-after-30-years/ http://www.langleyadvance.com/entertainment/video-langley-music-teacher-segues-into-country/ |
