Spencer LaJoye makes queer indie folk music for everyone. Spencer is a multi-instrumentalist with a crystalline voice, and makes masterful use of the loop pedal to enhance performances. LaJoye is a relentless wordsmith, harvesting endless insight out of lived experience. Spencer's songs dance effortlessly between theatrical grace and unhinged sincerity. Since the providential breakout of their anthemic hymn "Plowshare Prayer," Spencer has been in non-stop motion, winning the 2021 Kerrville New Folk singer/songwriter contest, and returning in 2024, and winning their Songwriter Serenade Award.
The concert will be opened by Jaunetta Cooper, who will perform some of her own original music.
