Derek Spencer

From the hills of eastern Kentucky, Beattyville native and  singer-songwriter, Derek Spencer found a passion for songs, like so many  other Appalachian youths, in church - at his mother's side singing from  the Sunday hymnal. Embodying the purest form of folk tradition, Spencer  is ultimately a storyteller. You can find Red Barn Radio on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitch, and the Public Radio Exchange.
