Australian Blues Master Lloyd Spiegel Announces New Album + Canadian Tour
For over 26 years, Australian acoustic blues guitarist and singer
Lloyd Spiegel has been performing his hard-hitting, cutting edge brand
of blues all over the world, including sold-out shows in Tokyo and with
frequent visits to Europe, New Zealand and the United States. With the
release of his new album This Time Tomorrow set for release internationally, Spiegel will be heading to Ontario and the East Coast throughout August and September.
Known for his passionate, powerful performances and command of his instrument, Lloyd Spiegel is approaching icon status in Australia among guitar aficionados and his 2015 double live album Double Live Set won several Australian blues awards and landed on the Australian independent music charts.
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. The new album is a return in fine form from an
artist at the top of his game, and lead track “Devil On My Shoulder” sets the mood of the album right from the get-go.
Says Spiegel of the new songs, “I’ve never written at home. I find
it hard to be creative in my lounge room looking at bills and checking
footy scores - and find that the inspiration to write comes from those
few quiet hours in a hotel room on tour, the airport transit lounge or
the long bus ride. This is where I can reflect and put those experiences
into lyrics. I've travelled most of my life so really, they're like
letters home.”
Decades of experience on the road and prodigious talents as a
guitarist, singer and songwriter have moulded Lloyd Spiegel into one of
the best blues artists of this generation.
“Spiegel has stamped himself as one of the best songwriters in
the country, regardless of genre, of history, of ANYTHING. It’s a
powerhouse of brutal honestly.” - Rhythms Magazine
“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 Magazine
