Spencer Brewer

A Lifetime of Artistry

The combination of his virtuoso pianistic technique and his zen like gifts at creating haunting melodies provides the canvas for a lifetime of great music. Like all the sculptures and gorgeous piano work that also bares his name, it is timeless, beautiful, brilliant and is made by a man who has a lifelong commitment to quality, craftsmanship and integrity.

His wife Esther and their Harmony Gaits studio is a wonderland of eccentric ephemera.Nicknamed the ‘Barn of Wonder’, they hold monthly ‘Outta the Box’ assemblage camps where folks enjoy a playfully creative day ‘painting with objects’. Think ‘Visual Jazz!’ The result is both fun and a ‘WOW’ experience for the artists and observers.

His latest musical endeavor ‘Behind the Veil’ is a compilation of musical experience, artistic endeavor and utter class all rolled into one very beautiful album. It is a record that will live forever more in the hearts of the most discerning of listeners; something marvelous and addictive in how the album charges the listener’s musical sensibilities.

With 15 solo and duet albums to his credit, he received acclaim for his #1 hit records, “The Pipers Rhythm” and “Dorians Legacy”, both lodging in Billboard’s Top 10 chart for nine months. His release, “Torches on the Lake” with world famous wind man Paul McCandless charted on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz chart, and the double CD “Cinematic” received the finest reviews in his career as a composer and producer.

His music has been featured on Home Alone 2, LA Law, Sex & the City, Thirty Something, The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Barbara Walters Show, over 15 years of Olympic World games, NPR, CNN, virtually every airline in the skies and hundreds of other TV programs and movies across the globe. He wrote the National YMCA theme song, the National Big Brothers/Big Sisters Theme Song, the theme song for the Japanese Postal Service and scored Lee Mun Wah’s award winning films on racism “The Color of Fear” and “Last Chance for Eden’.

In his studio, Laughing Coyote Productions, he produced/engineered over 200 audiophile recordings for artists including Alex de Grassi, Joe Craven, Holly Near, Gene Parsons, Barbara Higbie, Paul McCandless, Paul Winter, Michael Manring, Phil Aaberg, Darol Anger and many others. During this tenure, several recordings were nominated for Grammy awards.
