14 time Australian Blues Award winner Lloyd Spiegel began performing at age 10 and has dedicated his life to creating a signature style that honours the traditions of the music he loves, while creating a link in the chain of its evolution.

With 10 albums and a near non-stop tour schedule that takes him to North America, Europe, New Zealand and Japan, Spiegel performs over one hundred shows a year on theatre stages and major festivals across the world.

Whether solo, or with his trio (Tim Burnham – drums and Lisa Baird – Trombone), the focus is on delivering a unique, captivating performance that crosses genres and generations, re-inventing the Blues by blending powerful vocals and jaw-dropping musical prowess with a knack for humour and storytelling.

Driven by a strong belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to make music, Lloyd is a highly active member of his community, creating a musical instrument donation program for local schools, volunteering weekly at an all abilities choir and serving as ambassador to Blues Music Victoria and Make Music Australia.

A festival where everyone belongs.

Accessibility & inclusion

Blues at Bridgetown is committed to creating a welcoming, safe, and inclusive festival experience for all attendees, artists, volunteers, staff, and community members.

We celebrate diversity and strive to ensure that everyone can participate in and enjoy the festival regardless of age, ability, gender identity, sexual orientation, cultural background, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status, or personal circumstances.

We are dedicated to improving accessibility across our festival sites and events. We work to identify and reduce barriers to participation wherever possible and welcome feedback from patrons and community members to help us continually improve our accessibility and inclusion practices.

We expect all festival participants to treat one another with respect, dignity, and consideration. Discrimination, harassment, bullying, or any form of exclusionary behaviour will not be tolerated.

Blues at Bridgetown recognises the importance of creating spaces where people feel valued, represented, and able to engage fully in the festival experience. We encourage anyone with specific access requirements to contact us in advance so that we can work together to support their participation wherever reasonably possible.

As a community-focused event, we acknowledge that inclusion is an ongoing journey. We are committed to listening, learning, and collaborating with our audience, artists, volunteers, partners, and local community to ensure Blues at Bridgetown remains a festival where everyone belongs.
