Jon Spencer – The Palladium, Carmel, IN: Review

Posted on December 16, 2025 by admin

Jon Spencer set at The Palladium, Carmel, IN, US with Samantha Fish and Cedric Burnside on 10 December 2025.

“Opening the evening, Jon Spencer brought a feral, art-punk energy that served as a thrilling pivot between Burnside’s roots and Fish’s contemporary blues-rock. His set was both chaotic and meticulously controlled, blending distorted guitar textures with playful stage charisma. The band’s loose, feedback-driven approach injected a punk-infused momentum that stirred the crowd and kept the energy elevated. Spencer’s performance was not simply a warmup but a full-fledged artistic statement, showcasing his long legacy in pushing blues and rock boundaries.” Dawne (Pix) Meyers

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

Posted on December 9, 2025 by admin

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
