Spook Handy

Spook Handy weaves the musical influences of folk, blues, bluegrass and rock into a timely and pertinent message for the times. The message is that we're all here to live, love and learn - and this can be done in a fun way.
The lively interplay of Spook's singing, acoustic guitar picking and harmonica playing have brought him much recognition. In 1993, Spook was named best folk artist by Aquarian Weekly. The same publication chose his debut CD "Freedom Is Your Destiny" a Top Ten Folk Album of 1995.
In 1997 Spook's cover of The Donovan song "Colours" was chosen as track one of the "Acoustic Rainbow" an internationally distributed folk music sampler put out by PoetMan Records of Lexington, Kentucky. Consequently, the song is receiving airplay on over 800 radio stations. Spook's originals have been described as " a message of hope, peace and survival".
Whether true stories or dreamed up fantasies, comically light in nature or deeply insightful, Spook's music has a way of touching and nurturing the human spirit. Amusing anecdotes and spontaneous interaction with audience members between songs further enhance a feeling of listener involvement. People laugh and cry during his performance and they leave feeling good about life and about themselves.
