Born into a gospel-singing family in the wind-swept prairies and Rocky Mountains of Wyoming in 1950, Spencer Bohren began singing and playing music as a young boy. At the age of fourteen, inspired by the folk music he heard on the radio, Spencer picked up a guitar and within a few weeks started performing in public. The next few years found Spencer delving deeply into America’s treasure of blues, country, gospel and folk music, soaking up guitar styles and historical details from hundreds of sources, both popular and obscure.
