Duane Spencer has been playing music since age 3, when his grandfather Ward Duane taught him to play the ukulele. At age 10 he took up the drums. During his career he's played with a long and varied list of artists, including Van Morrison, Roly Salley, Richard Bell, Clark Pierson, John Hall, Carly Simon, Kate Taylor, Fred Lipsius, Bobby Cochran, and Suzahn Fiering. Duane has written dozens of songs that skip around the genre map, from alternative to folk, to rock, to impossible-to-categorize, but always filled with an irresistible heart.
Duane Spencer is a member of the legendary Martha's Vineyard acoustic band Mr. Timothy Charles Duane. He also toured the Northeast with the soca group Target Rhythm Band. Duane co-wrote the lullaby "Jason & Ida" with Columbia artist Kate Taylor for her CD "Kate Taylor" (featuring James Taylor, Carly Simon, Will Lee, and Don Grolnick). Duane also co-wrote "Lock the Door" with Mary Lamont for her CD "You Don't Have to Knock."
