Lloyd Spiegel Trio - STAR HOTEL YACKANDANDAH
Event description
Melbourne Blues artist Lloyd Spiegel has been touring the globe for 30 of his 40 years. The 14 time Australian Blues Award winner has one of the most interesting stories in music, having grown up on stage learning from, and touring with the founding fathers of modern Blues.
Spiegel is a driving force in modern Blues in this country and one of it’s most respected guitarists, recently being name in Australian Guitar Player Magazine’s list of the 50 greatest aussie guitarists of all time.
The current show features Lisa Baird on Trombone and long-time collaborator Tim Burnham on drums. Combined with Spiegel’s guitar wizardry, powerful and knack for storytelling, this trio with a twist delivers a truly unique entertainment experience that reinvents the blues and dispels the cliches associated with it.
“A revelation, the consummate performer, an Oz Blues & Roots icon.”

“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 Player Magazine
“Spiegel is ALL presence, authority, rhythm and drive. He epitomizes control, soul and passion with white hot ferocity and blazing instrumental mastery dangerous enough to spark a destructive inferno.”
- The Age, Melbourne
