“Last Place In A Bear Race is a debut album that has a remarkable amount of maturity for a 23-year old, and is one that showcases a young artist who is not interested in skipping any steps when it comes to his musical, stylistic, and historical understanding. It exemplifies a well-rounded approach that often can only come with years of experience, and I look forward to seeing what Spencer’s broad musical vision will yield in the Cincinnati area and beyond.”
