About
Melbourne Blues artist Lloyd Spiegel has been touring the globe for 30 of his 40 years. The 14 time Australian Blues Award winner has one of the most interesting stories in music, having grown up on stage learning from, and touring with the founding fathers of modern Blues. In 2021, Spiegel and long-time collaborator, drummer Tim Burnham added Lisa Baird to the mix on trombone and backing vocals. Combined with Spiegel’s guitar wizardry, powerful vocal performance and knack for storytelling, this trio with a twist delivers a truly unique entertainment experience that reinvents the blues and dispels the cliches associated with it. The latest album, Bakehouse Dozen offers 13 re-imaged tracks from Spiegel’s multi-award winning back catalogue recorded live in session with no overdubs at Melbourne’s iconic Bakehouse Studios. “A revelation, the consummate performer, an Oz Blues & Roots icon.” - Rolling Stone “A guitarist almost without peer, Spiegel deconstructs how the blues guitar is supposed to operate, makes sweet love to it, then kicks it out the back door” - Australian Guitar Player Magazine “Spiegel is ALL presence, authority, rhythm and drive. He epitomizes control, soul and passion with white hot ferocity and blazing instrumental mastery dangerous enough to spark a destructive inferno.” - The Age, Melbourne
