Doris Spears-Bio Since appearing on local TV shows as a young girl to tours of Europe and the Mediterranean, the smooth, intoxicating, transforming voice of Doris Spears continues to win the heart of many a music enthusiast. Having forged her instrument with iconic players on a continuum from Jazz: Lionel Hampton and Von Freeman, to Blues: Lefty Bates Delta Blues Band, and Joe Zook’s Blues Deluxe, the singer credits these affiliations as priceless in the grass roots foundation, and professionalism that she has acquired in her evolution; both as a musician, and as a lyricist. Her shows, whether in a small intimate room, or a stadium are always described as “fun, engaging, uplifting. “At my performances” she says, “I am not happy until I see three things at work: a tapping foot, a soulful sway, and the utter joy in the air that only dynamic music has the power to evoke.” With three highly praised CD’s to her credit, “The Duchess” recorded with legendary guitarist Paul Weeden Sr. in Oslo Norway, and “9 Fold Muse-Blues for Grown Folks,” Doris exemplifies the ease and richness with which she expresses and builds upon the diverse Jazz/Blues Tradition. However, it is “Doris Spears-The Duchess: Jazz & Juke Joints” her most recent release that is closest to the quintessential Doris Spears; not only for sheer vocal beauty but as an interpreter/story teller of songs of the first order. The Singer currently lives in Trenton NJ. She is the Mother of Shahran Spears, an Education Administrator in the Midwest, and Aries Spears, an Actor and Comedian living in California.
