Who is Nash the Slash?

Nash the Slash was the alias of Jeff Plewman, a Canadian musician. A multi-instrumentalist, he was known primarily for playing electric violin and mandolin, as well as harmonica, keyboards, glockenspiel, and other instruments.

Nash worked as a solo artist beginning in 1975, then founded the progressive rock band FM in 1976. After the release of FM's first album, Black Noise he left in 1977 to resume his solo career, which he relaunched in February 1978. He later rejoined FM from 1983 to 1996, concurrent with his solo work.

Nash's music covers a wide range, varying from instrumental mood-setting music to rock and pop music with vocals. In addition to giving concert performances, he has composed and performed soundtrack music for silent films, presenting these works live in movie theatres to accompany screenings of the films. Another venue for his music is in performances to accompany the viewing of paintings by surrealist painter Robert Vanderhorst, an audiovisual collaboration which took place in 1978, and again in 2004.
