“…picture your favourite uncle, arriving in the night from a long trip and sitting down in the kitchen with his guitar… telling you stories by singing his songs. Summary: This is an enjoyable CD that just oozes Canadian flavours, like maple syrup on pancakes.” - Bullfrog Music Reviews
“Throughout the album’s 11 tracks, Hardwire demonstrates his solid guitar playing. His blues style captures the essence of that genre. But it’s not just blues – his fingerpicking and tasty lead guitar work suit the moods of the songs by providing interesting textures that don’t overpower….” - CalgarySongwriters.com (no longer available)
Smooth and melodic with a sense of experienced song writing. A long time coming but worth the wait.” - CJXF - FM Calgary
Discography
In September 2015 I released the EP "September Winds - The Art of Acoustic Guitar" with newly recorded versions of a few songs and a couple of new songs - all solo instrumental acoustic guitar tunes.
Discovered there was another Neil Speers who was on iTunes before me about this time and released my full length CD "Vol. 1 - Breakfast at Epiphany's" in 2008.
Released my first EP "Continental Breakfast" by Neil D Speers in 2006

In a past life (so to speak) I was a journalist and bring that writer's sensibility to my lyrics along with working hard to create my own voice on fingerstyle guitar.
Won a prize for Best Original Soundtrack for instrumental music I provided for an independent video.
