    "Spiros S. high energy and versatility with the strings makes him a dangerous man." -- Blues Revue “Spiros S.may well be the finest indie blues guitarist in Europe. His soulful guitar playing weaves right into the heart with evocative golden tone. Truly a consumer artist” -Keith Schwartz A consummate performer, Spiros S. regularly played at the late, great B.B. King Blues Club, the place for live blues in Manhattan. With his eponymous power trio, or as a solo opener for many other artists, including Robert Randolph and Popa Chubby, he played right to the end, performing at the iconic club`s closing night, April 29, 2018, for a blues-fuelled finale. His electric and acoustic tributes to some of his favorite slingers - Eric Clapton, Robin Trower and Johnny Winter - are big hits in NYC`s premier clubs such as Cafe Wha?, The Groove and Bonafide. Spiros returns to his earliest musical roots at his popular Greek Music Nights which he hosts and performs at the New York Open Center with an array of musicians playing traditional instruments. A dedicated teacher, Spiros has a large number of private students, some of whom are invited to participate in his master jam sessions at his private Manhattan studio.

    Spiros is FANTASTIC! I've been taking Greek lessons with him for over a month now and all I can say is he's very patient, very supportive, and very funny! I never feel rushed to get through a certain amount of material and am always looking forward to next week's session. He's helped me set realistic goals along my journey for learning Greek and most importantly I am happy with how my learning is progressing. Ευχαριστω Σπ­­υροσ!

    I have really enjoyed taking lessons with Spiros! He is great at balancing conversation time and instruction time in the textbook. He is also very thoughtful about providing resources and has even made a few Greek music recommendations - his specialty!
