Lloyd Spiegel - This Time Tomorrow Tour @ OCCO Kitchen
"Percussive and lightning fast, Spiegel's licks aren't about showing off or putting as many notes together as possible- though he does that too - but about painting a sonic image so complex that the audience just sits back and basks in the whole, like an impressionist painting where the sophistication of the brushstrokes is not the bigger point, its the work of art as a complex piece." -Elmore Magazine
With 8 albums, a swag of accolades to his name and 25 years performing, writing and recording, Lloyd Spiegel has certainly squeezed more into 35 years than many do in a lifetime. Its that unique experience combined with a relentless touring schedule and stage presence well beyond his years that has seen him become a driving force in Australian blues and one of most respected guitarists in the country, recently being named in Australian Guitar Magazines list of the 50 top Australian guitarists of all time.
Since age 13, Spiegel has toured the globe with frequent visits to Europe, New Zealand and the United States where he has performed at major festivals and iconic Juke Joints as well as supporting the likes of Ray Charles, Bob Dylan and Etta James on tour. He has sat with the founding fathers of modern blues from Brownie McGhee to Luther Allison.
Growing up in the music business, naturally Lloyd is passionate about promoting the blues scene and mentoring the next generation. He has taken countless young artists under his wing who have since become multi-award winning performers in their own right and he has been an advocate for blues in Australia, chosen as the ambassador to the Australian Blues Music festival from 2005-2008 as well as ambassador to youth in blues. Spiegel's unique history, command of his instrument and powerful stage persona puts him at the cutting edge of Australian Blues, re-inventing the style for the masses and opening new doors for Australian blues artists while maintaining a close relationship with the foundations and traditions of the blues.
After a successful tour in Canada in 2016, Lloyd Spiegel returns to celebrate the launch of his new album 'This Time Tomorrow'.
This Time Tomorrow was written as Lloyd travelled through Europe, Central and North America and delivers driving rhythms that return Spiegel to his gut bucket blues roots. Shady and colourful characters spread out over continents and decades, through places forgotten and familiar.
