Les Stroud "The Survivorman" on the Renostate Rocks Podcast! Music, Life, and Slash!!

He began his stairway to a career in Music Education at Fanshawe College, eventually leading him to work at MuchMusic. A prominent member and songwriter for the Toronto band New Regime, he's also worked with the Canadian greats such as the Northern Pikes, Corey Hart, some band named RUSH that I’m sure no-one has ever heard of, and even the iconic SLASH from Guns N’ Roses has kissed his presence. He’s recorded albums as a solo artist, as part of bands, and as Soundtracks to television shows, including, of course, his own. However, his love of Temagami and canoes, as well as the hallow synth-pop movement of the 80’s, turned his career in a completely opposite direction. Becoming a hardcore survival expert, a guide for Black Feather Wilderness Adventures, and a person comfortable in solitude on snowshoes, he brought to the world one of the greatest one-man-show projects on television in the now infamous “Survivorman”. Most recently you will find him with the likes of Slash again, and Billy Gibbons, on Slash’s new Blues Album, as well as his latest endeavour in his own Ancients Call, streaming on all music platforms now. He’s officially played with Slash more times than Corey has been camping, the Harmonica Hounder, Canada’s Chief Scout, and the Survivorman himself: Les Stroud!
