Referred to as a “genius” and a “downtown ringleader” by The New Yorker, Spottiswoode is the son of an American singer and an English clergyman. WNYC’s John Schaefer describes him as "one of New York’s more colorful band leaders for more than a decade.”
His Enemies are John Young (bass), Tim Vaill (drums), Candace DeBartolo (sax), Kevin Cordt (trumpet), Riley McMahon (guitars), Tony Lauria (keys). With the band Spottiswoode has released seven acclaimed records, performed numerous Manhattan residencies and toured worldwide from SXSW and Lille Europe to Lincoln Center. The band has been profiled on NPR’s Weekend Edition and has been featured on the nationally syndicated radio programs XM Loft, World Cafe and Soundcheck.
Spottiswoode’s songs have won or been nominated for at least half a dozen Independent Music Awards. His songwriting has drawn comparisons to Leonard Cohen, Ray Davies, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, David Bowie, Randy Newman and many others. Still, he is his own man. He composes mostly on guitar, sometimes on piano and occasionally in his head - "very rarely, but those are often my best."
His tunes have been recorded by numerous artists and featured in a variety of TV shows and films. His musical, Above Hell’s Kitchen, played to sold-out crowds at the New York Musical Theatre Festival. His screenplay Either Side Of Midnight was recently made into a feature film by the James Bond director , Roger Spottiswoode. Amazingly, Roger is no relation.
