Balderston played in various bands during the 80s and 90s, then went solo acoustic, performing at Pubs. In the 00s, Balderston pursued a quest for the ultimate electric guitar tone, acquiring a unique and soulful guitar voice, and was touched by his songwriting Muse, all of which can be heard in Balderston’s debut album, “Time’s Awastin'”.
