Neil D Speers

Ace guitar player, singer/songwriter and entertainer - Neil D Speers provides a genre fluid mix of blues and jazz mixed with rock& roll.

Speers has spent over 40 years honing the craft of guitar, having played in a wide range of bands using a multitude of styles - from playing "biker parties" to joining a jazz combo, he's learned from a variety of sources. Playing electric and acoustic guitar with a loop pedal, Neil entertains with stories and firey guitar playing.

His explorations of these types of guitar playing led to creating the soundtrack for the independent film "Culture Lost and Found," for which he won the Best Original Score at the Georgies awards in Calgary.

Performances by Neil D Speers include his original songs and guitar instrumentals, and - if doing a longer performance - a variety of classic blues and jazz standards as well as fun and/or interesting contemporary songs.
