Spider John Koerner
Since Spider John and his legendary folk trio, Koerner, Ray and Glover, started performing in the clubs and bars of Minnesota’s Twin Cities, St. Paul and Minneapolis, Koerner has helped shape twentieth-century music. John Lennon and David Bowie have been among his most vocal fans. And a young Bob Dylan might have avoided folk music altogether were it not for Koerner’s influence while he studied at the University of Minnesota.With ‘Spider’ John and Dave ‘Snaker’ Ray on guitar and vocals, and Tony ‘Little Sun’ Glover on harmonica, the trio were leading lights of America’s early-60s, folk-blues explosion right from the release of their successful debut ‘Blues, Rags, and Hollers’. They stormed live events such as the Newport Folk Festival and were famed for the originality of their performances.
With his gangly long legs that went on forever, and his distinctive 7- and 9-string guitars, Koerner became a successful solo artist in his own right and he ended the 60s with funky solo albums that included works later recorded by the likes of Bonnie Raitt.
His influence aside, Koerner is a still a juggernaut of joy as a live performer. Corny jokes, timeless lyrics, and a stomping guitar provide the kind of entertainment you’d happily stay up listening to all night, every night.
Now over 70 years old, Koerner defies his years with regular, powerful live performances in the states. He last toured the UK in 1981 when he played the Cambridge Folk Festival. Almost thirty years on, those lucky enough to catch him at the Moseley Folk Festival are in for a real treat.
