The course that Prescott, AZ-based jammers Spafford have charted for themselves over the past few years is on another level. The quartet has worked hard and put in the time, going from support gigs playing in front dozens of people to now packing out some of the most well-known venues around the country, including their recent shows at NYC’s Brooklyn Bowl and Burlington’s Higher Ground.

Coming off the East Coast leg of their fall tour, Spafford is prepared to make a triumphant return to Fort Collins, Colorado, on Friday, November 10th, with Soule Monde. Having played the inaugural sold-out Canyon Jam at the Mishawaka Amphitheatre and Hodi’s Half Note earlier this year, Spafford will move down the block from Hodi’s for their first headlining performance at larger, sister-venue the Aggie Theatre (purchase tickets here).

2017 has been a breakout year for Spafford, with high-profile festival performances at Summer Camp, Electric Forest, The Werk Out, Canyon Jam, and an epic Phish Baker’s Dozen late-night performance at BB King’s in New York City. The group also recently released Abaculus: An Improvisational Experience, an album that saw the quartet going back to their roots and laying into an hourlong jam session in the studio. With no verbal or visual communication and, most importantly, no expectations, Abaculus is a master course in beautiful peaks and valleys, natural movement, group continuity, and profound inspiration. Take a listen below:

Trey Anastasio Band members Russ Lawton (drums) and Ray Paczkowski (B3 Hammond/keys) and their Avante-funk project Soule Monde have been exploring the space of sound for several years now. Earlier this year, the group released Must Be Nice, an album full of hybrid sounds with tons of deep rhythms and gorgeous melodies. However, their live shows are truly where the duo comes alive, consistently delivering a deep pocket with plenty of room for jazz-based improvisational grooves and showcasing Lawton and Paczkowski’s deep musical connection.
