blues & gospel from New Orleans

Wyoming native Spencer Bohren offers a mystical combination of finely crafted traditional blues, 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, where he has twice been honored with Big Easy Awards for Best Folk Artist. A veteran road musician, Spencer has criss-crossed America with his family in an Airstream trailer and completed over 30 international tours and 12 albums, most recently last year's acclaimed Solitaire.
