Career

Spiegel took an interest in the blues when he was six years old and found an album by Sonny Terry Brownie McGee 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.[1]

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.[2] Spiegel is the face of major Australian guitar brand Cole Clark Guitars.[3]
