Domenic Troiano is the best guitarist you've never heard of. Born in Italy in the late 1940s, he grew up in Canada and quickly developed a love of rock & roll. Toronto's R&B music scene was thriving in the mid-1960s, and Troiano was in the center of it. After playing guitar with Robbie Lane and the Disciples, Mandala, and Bush, he joined the James Gang in 1972, replacing Joe Walsh. Domenic recorded two albums with the band before leaving, and he later joined the Guess Who in 1974, recording two albums with that band as well. From 1972 to 1979, he released five solo albums, all featuring a wide variety of music and an assortment of musicians. Popular music icons such as Randy Bachman, Joe Cocker, and Diana Ross recruited him to play guitar on their albums. As a session player, he has also worked with such respected musicians and producers as Donald Fagen, Bob Ezrin, Larry Carlton, Todd Rundgren, Gary Katz, David Sanborn, and Vini Poncia.

In the '80s, Domenic worked mostly on music for movies and television shows. In 1996, he was inducted into the Juno Hall of Fame (Canada's equivalent to America's Grammys). Much of Domenic's solo work has been remastered and released on CD for a new generation of music lovers to enjoy.
