      • Lloyd Spiegel is an Australian guitarist, songwriter and singer. He began performing at age of 10, has produced ten albums and collaborated on many other recordings both as artist and producer.


      Career


      Spiegel took an interest in the blues when he was six years old and found an album by Sonny Terry Brownie McGhee in his father's record collection. His father took him to shows by Dutch Tilders and Geoff Achison and in about two years was playing in blues club bands. He was invited to the US by Brownie McGhee at age 16.
      Spiegel won his first talent competition at the age of 10 and was playing regular gigs in Melbourne, Australia. At the age of 13 he formed his own band, Midnight Special, which he fronted from 1993 to 1998, and at 15 he recorded and produced his first CD. He has worked as a solo performer since 1996 performing at festivals and theatre venues all around the world, including extensive tours throughout Canada, the USA, Japan, New Zealand and the Netherlands.
      Since 2012, Spiegel is often accompanied by drummer Tim Burnham during his Australian tours. Burnham also appears on several of his albums. In 2019, Trombonist and vocalist Lisa Baird joined the show as a permanent member, having performed as a guest artist on Spiegel’s recordings and shows for a number of years.
      Since 2002, Spiegel has been the face of major Australian guitar brand Cole Clark Guitars. He has been a contributor in every aspect of the company’s research and development and has four signature model guitars with the company.
