Thanks to Canadian visual artist Joanne Gervais for this portrait of me performing in Kingston this past summer! That was a fun gig, combining visual arts, live music and local business on a lovely summer afternoon near the Kingston waterfront, at General Brock’s Commissary on 55 Brock St. Thanks to radio host and fellow musician Bon Evans of Amherst Island Radio CJAI 92.1 FM for organizing this fun initiative! Lots of gigs coming up – check my Events page for details! For more info about Joanne Gervais’ art work: https://joannegervais.com

Spring update

Just want to give a shout-out to all the venues in Ottawa and area that have gone out of their way to support live music during these strange times. Stay tuned for what I’m up to as we get through what hopefully is the last part of this crisis! Just wanted to credit fellow musician and radio host Bon Evans for the great photo ad – I was on his radio show in March this year, on Amherst Island Radio FM located in Stella Ontario. My new album The Other Side is for sale at my gigs, or you can contact me here and I’ll mail it to you, and it’s on iTunes 🙂

Outdoor Performances!

Arnprior Priorpalooza


I’m happy to say I’ve been back at it with live performances outdoors this summer – lots of lovely patio spots in and around Ottawa and the Valley – check my upcoming events or my Facebook for more details!

Livestream Performances


Hi everyone, like a lot of musicians right now, my gigs have been cancelled due to the concern regarding COVID 19. But I love to play! So, if anyone wants to hire me in the interim, I’m open to livestreaming via Facebook for gigs, or lessons via FaceTime, and can accept payment via e-transfer or PayPal. PM me on Facebook, or send me an email on my contact page. You can check out upcoming livestreams on my Facebook, or on my Events listing here.

To all the great venues I perform at, their customers, my students, and all of you – wishing you good health through this challenging time! I’ll look forward to seeing you again soon! Best, Spencer
