Take the spirit of Southern rock from the 70's, throw in some soulful blues and a little jam band influence and you have The Spencer Durham Group. Legendary performer Randall Bramblett (Widespread Panic, Traffic, Sea Level) says of Spencer, "There's an old soul inside that young man. Spencer's got a great future ahead of him." Spencer has surrounded himself with some of the most accomplished blues and jamband players in the south.
