Pianist, composer, and producer Spencer Brewer is known for his stylistically cross-pollinated classical-, jazz-, and pop-influenced instrumental albums. He first emerged in the early '80s with a series of albums on Narada, two of which, 1989's Dorian’s Legacy and 1991's Piper's Rhythm, hit the Top Ten of Billboard's New Age chart. Along with founding his own Laughing Coyote studio, Brewer has continued to expand his instrumental works, recording with Paul McCandless and Kit Walker. He has written for film and TV, and even drew upon his love of classic film scores for 2008's orchestral Cinematic. In 2023, he returned to his original compositions with Behind the Veil.
