Jon Spencer – House of Blues, Chicago: Photos / Review

Jon Spencer set at House of Blues, Chicago, IL, US with Samantha Fish and Cedric Burnside on 7 December 2025.

Jon / Kendall / Spider Show #149

“First came Jon Spencer, yes, that Jon Spencer of the Blues Explosions, the genre-melting icon whose name alone still evokes sweat-stained basement clubs, punk swagger, smashed microphones (of which he actually sells at his merch booth, and fuzz-burned amps. Spencer delivered a performance part performance-art, part sonic riot, slashing riffs like he was painting the walls with feedback. It was wild, unexpected, and a perfect chaotic preamble.

Spencer is touring with new musicians playing tracks from across his legacy including Boss Hog, Pussy Galore and Jon Spencer’s Blues Explosion. The current three-piece is comprised of bassist Kendall Wind and drummer Macky Spider Bowman and they were nothing but eclectic and energetic.” – beintheloopchicago.com
