A serious buzz is building around Arizona-based jam powerhouse Spafford. Each show they pick up new devoted fans, as they blow away the new and often unsuspecting listeners with their improvisational prowess. Playing with a sound that is easily digestible while still pushing boundaries, the band is building a following by connecting to the special, in the moment energy, only found through improvisational dives.

There is no greater example of this than what went down in September in the backwoods of Neenah, WI at Cranky Pat’s. As the band took the stage, the fans in attendance couldn’t have possibly imagined they would be seeing a 2-song powerhouse set propped up with a juicy 30+ minutes of sonic exploration. The result was something that must be heard. Dubbed the “Pizza Jam”, this is a fine example of the power of Spafford in all its grooving glory. Take a listen, and do not miss a chance to see this band live for yourself!

You can catch Spafford opening for Lotus in Chicago on 11/4 and 11/5. East Coasters, Spafford will be making their NYC debut on 12/30 and 12/31 on a co-bill with the Colorado based Magic Beans for 2 special post-Phish performances. More information here.
