A long-time fixture of the Northeast music scene, Spady has been a regular performer at Greenwich Village's iconic Terra Blues club where he has been captivating travelers from all over the world with his guitar virtuosity and magnetic stage presence for nearly thirty years.Spady was nominated for Best New Artist Debut in the 1997 W.C. Handy Awards following his debut release, Nature of the Beast, (Evidence Records, 1996). His sophomore release, Just Between Us, (Severn Records, 2008) garnered a Blues Music Award nomination for Soul Blues Album of the Year. He has performed internationally in support of both albums and plans to resume touring as soon as restrictions are lifted.
