This self-proclaimed "songster" has received critical acclaim for his subtle lyric, earthy guitar playing and strong vocals. Audiences all around Europe have been endeared by his understated unassuming performances and moved by the strenght of his ballads. The two latest releases „Ain’t but one way“ (2009) a „Lonesome Road“ (2014) have received glowing reviews in a number of countries. Lloyd Spiegel - 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. It’s 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 Magazine’s list of the 50 top Australian guitarists of all time.
