Nick Johnston is part of a new wave of guitar virtuosos, renowned for his slick legato style and moving, soulful instrumental music. The Canadian already has five full-length albums to his name, and his latest release (2019's "Wide Eyes In The Dark") is considered his most accomplished yet.

Not only has Nick established a large online presence over the years, but he can also be seen out on the road supporting the likes of Between The Buried And Me, The Contortionist and Polyphia. Guest spots on tracks from Periphery, Intervals and Scale The Summit bolster his impressive list of credentials, which continues to grow into 2020 and beyond.

Back in 2015, Nick sat down with The Captain back to discuss his career and the early days as an up-and-coming musician aspiring for recognition. Other topics included Johnston's relationship with Schecter guitars and tips on how to get your parents to support you!
