Wyoming native Spencer Bohren offers a mystical combination of finely crafted traditional blues and roots-inspired originals, and homespun storytelling. An accomplished string player, noted for his slide work, Spencer's music is woven through with a thread of gospel that reaches back to his childhood spent singing harmonies in the Baptist church. Spencer learned firsthand from living legends like ragtime genius Reverend Gary Davis and bottleneck guitar ace Bukka White, putting in time in the Boulder and Seattle folk scenes before finding his spiritual and musical home in the cultural gumbo that is New Orleans. A veteran road musician, he has criss-crossed America with his family in an Airstream trailer and completed over thirty international tours. Spencer's latest, Carry the Word, a blues-gospel synthesis, was named Best CD of the Year by a Louisiana Artist by the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
