Music is language. Words matter as do notes. Where they reside in a solo and how when layered they sometimes crunch and distort, at others sing and sting, is where his artistry resides in this new album. Locating one’s roots the phrase can infer denoted roots or “routes” – that journey back in time, the history that preceded or the path forward. “In the new recording, I’m thoroughly connected to my roots. The title track “Preach to My Soul”, essentially refers to just that”, says Mackenzie. “The powerful influence from those that came before me are fundamentally preaching to my soul, channeling their passion, communicating their love for the blues to come through me in my music.” Some tracks have a heavier guitar feel, some intricate blues all influenced with more of a blues-rock intent behind it. Preach To My Soul is a new direction for Spencer, it is sure to captivate the true blues audiences while crossing the barriers to inspire the blues-rock, soul and roots fans! Mackenzie will be performing at various festivals this season including The Lighthouse Blues Festival (ON), Montreal International Jazz Festival (QC), Festival Blues d’la Baie (N.B.), Royal Botanical Gardens (ON), Highway 401 Blues Festival (ON), Badlands Roots and Blues Barbeque (AB), First Ontario Performing Arts Centre (ON) and more to announce soon(https://bluesrockreview.com/2022/05/spencer-mackenzie-to-release-preach-to-my-soul.html).
