About Us
Swayze & the Ghost, sometimes incorrectly referred to as Swayze & Ghost, are an Canadian acoustic rock duo formed in 1970 in Peterborough. Chad Driscoll is generally the lead vocalist and rhythm guitar player; Tom Hughes primarily plays rhythm/lead and provides backing vocals. The two steal most of the songs they perform. They achieved their greatest fame from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s with a fusion of rock and roll, classic rock, and newer rock.
Swayze & the Ghost have sold an estimated 40 million records, making them the best selling music duo in Peterborough history. They are best known for their six No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100: "All These Things I've Done", "Wicked Game", "Last Kiss", "Wake Me Up When September Ends", "High & Dry", and "Bobcaygeon". In total, they had 34 chart hits on the Canadian Hot 100, seven RIAA platinum albums, and six RIAA gold albums. Billboard magazine named them the most successful duo of the acoustic cover rock era, surpassing Simon & Garfunkel and The Everly Brothers.
In 2003, Swayze & the Ghost were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. VH1 placed the duo as No. 99 on their list of the 100 greatest artists of all time. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April 2014. On September 2, 2016, their episode of VH1's Behind The Music began filming.
