Lloyd Spiegel
'This Time Tomorrow' Tour - New Dates Announced
Australian Blues master and acoustic guitarist extraordinaire Lloyd
Spiegel is two months into the tour to launch his new
album ‘This
Time Tomorrow’ and the ‘sold out’ signs have been
hanging on many venue doors thus far.
After such an incredible start, Lloyd is delighted to announce new
dates in SA, WA, TAS and a handful of other shows on the east
coast, including ‘Back by Popular Demand’ performances in
Sydney and Melbourne.
‘This Time Tomorrow’ has spent 3 months at #1 of the Australian
Blues Radio Airplay chart, peaked at #5 on the ARIA Jazz and Blues
Chart, and #1 on the iTunes Blues Chart, and the album was written
as Lloyd travelled through Europe, Central and North America
and delivers driving rhythms that return Spiegel to his gut bucket
blues roots. Shady and colourful characters spread out over
continents and decades, through places forgotten and familiar.
‘This Time Tomorrow' is a return in fine form from an artist at the
top of his game, and lead track ‘Devil On My Shoulder’ sets the
mood of the album right from the get go.
Says Spiegel of the new songs,
“I’ve never written
at home. I find it hard to be creative in my lounge room looking at
bills and checking footy scores - and find that the inspiration to
write comes from those few quiet hours in a hotel room on tour, the
airport transit lounge or the long bus ride. This is where I
can reflect and put those experiences into lyrics. I've travelled
most of my life so really, they're like letters home."
It’s been a while since Spiegel’s last studio album - 2010’s
Tangled Brew - but he’s been far from idle in that time. He's
toured the world relentlessly, launched his own signature model
guitars and has cemented his position as a bona fide festival
headliner in Australia, with his recent performance at Bluesfest in
Byron Bay the cherry on top.
With European and North American tours under his belt, along with
recent showcases at Folk Alliance in Kansas City, the ECMAs in
Canada and AMW in Sydney, Spiegel has many years on the road
ahead of him.
‘This Time Tomorrow’ is available in stores through Only Blues Music.
“Australian blues
and roots icon Lloyd Spiegel, in his first Bluesfest appearance,
holds his own full house in the palm of his hand, just him and his
trusty Cole Clark, a full swag of songs, a full tote of stories
told with humour and aplomb, the man able to make his guitar do
anything at all as he tells tales both tall and true, his own
superbly written material marrying with blues standards in a way
few others are able to manage. The man is a mountain, he’ll surely
be back.” -
Rolling Stone Magazine
“Spiegel has
stamped himself as one of the best songwriters in the country,
regardless of genre, of history, of ANYTHING. It’s a powerhouse of
brutal honesty.” - Rhythms Magazine
“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.”
