 Now in his mid-twenty's, Lloyd has established himself and one this country's leading blues artists. Combining his youthful enthusiasm with experience and presence well beyond his years, his incredible command of the guitar, powerful voice and high energy performance captivates any audience.
As a solo artist since 1995, Lloyd has performed in Australia's premier music venues from the Palace and the Continental to the HiFi Bar as well as headlining two sellout shows at the world renowned Melbourne Concert Hall. In that time, he's been billed with the very best talent Australia has to offer.
Between writing, recording and extensive touring within Australia, Lloyd has travelled worldwide with tours to Germany, Italy, Japan and the U.S.A where he's toured coast to coast 7 times. During these tours he's performed at some of the world's best blues venues and largest festivals. He's played bills with legendary blues artists including Buddy Guy, Etta James and Ray Charles. |
During his 2000 U.S tour, Lloyd was invited to be part of the 'Blues in the schools' program. The nation wide movement is designed to teach young American students about blues and it's place in American culture. As part of the program, Lloyd headlined performances with students, raising money to fund music education to schools that otherwise could not afford it. It was a new outlet for Lloyd and since returning to Australia he has been active in creating the 'youth in blues' program here at home.
While fans and critics have always focussed on his guitar skills, Lloyd has come of age as a composer and lyricist. His 2005 release, Tall Stories, saw Lloyd re-invent himself as an artist - it was quickly recognised as a breakthrough recording for him and proves him to be an integral part of Australia's ever-changing blues music style. With his latest effort "Timber & Steel" Lloyd Spiegel is taking blues and soul music to the next level. Entirely solo, Lloyd brings his considerable song-writing skills and his passion for blues music together with his exceptional acoustic guitar expertise.
