For a brief moment during 1967 and 1968, Influence was one of the most exciting outfits to emerge on the Toronto rock scene. No other Canadian band at the time could boast such an international flavour, and no other Canadian group, with the exception of The Band, could arguably embody such an eclectic mix of styles.
Formed in May 1967, this fascinating, experimental band brought together the cream of Montreal’s top players and added two expatriate British musicians who were recent arrivals to North American shores. Nick Warburton uncovers the story behind this long forgotten band.
