Abe Reid and the Spikedrivers

About Me

ABEREID.COMAbe Reid and the Spikedrivers stand alone as the unofficial guardians of the traditional art of "blood and guts" musical performance, serving to the masses a blend of Piedmont blues and raw rock 'n roll. After a humble nod to the past, the music blossoms into an experience rich in relevancy and value. Folks of all types relate to the sincerity embodied within each performance. Abe Reid, from Statesville, NC, growls out old tunes and screaming hormonica with mastery, and now he unleashes authentic finger picking and soloing technique on the unsuspecting guitar enthusiast. Abe's characteristic Piedmont style inspires countless imitations and makes getting the blues enjoyable. He's an innovator, creating infectious melodies that deliver some of the most potent assaults on the English language since Allen Ginsberg howled his ass off. (2006 Positivity Photography)
