Bright Series: Spencer LaJoye

With crystalline vocals, masterful looping, and a weathered acoustic guitar, Spencer LaJoye creates music that disarms, delights, and connects. They sing with a coy smile, a wink to the back row, and the conviction that art can change the world simply by making us feel something.

A coast-to-coast singer/songwriter and vocal loop artist with Midwest roots, Spencer is a classically-trained violinist, Americana enthusiast, and theology graduate whose artistry blends folk, pop, and theatrical storytelling. Since their viral 2021 anthem “Plowshare Prayer”, Spencer has built a devoted following around the globe, recognized for their unflinching songwriting and pastoral stage presence.

Spencer’s performances—whether in theaters, listening rooms, folk festivals, queer clubs, or church sanctuaries—keep audiences laughing one moment and weeping the next. Their catalog spans a decade, from early autobiographical folk/pop to the 2023 EP Plant a Piano, an intimate collection of vocally theatrical piano ballads about change, beauty, and impermanence. Along the way, they’ve won the Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Competition, earned Folk Alliance International official showcase artist status, and released music that has resonated deeply across diverse communities.
