Artist Info

Spafford

Spafford are known for their astonishing improvisational ability and off-the-cuff extended jams, Spafford paints a picture in real-time each night with a musical palette known only to each other. It’s a private language comprised of both their talent as musicians as well as their formidable catalog of influences, spanning 90’s alt-rock radio hits to Steely Dan and The Crystal Method. Each Spafford show is a sonic pilgrimage, the journey of a team of musicians so in tune with each other that a single note communicates intent and purpose. Spafford is amongst the most creative and hard-traveling bands on the contemporary jam scene, performing countless sold-out headline dates along with high profile festival sets at Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, Firefly Music Festival, and many others.

Kyle Sparkman

During a lightning storm in Philadelphia with Parliament-Funkadelic blasting in the background, Kyle Sparkman was thrust into this world with a raging-red bushel of hair and a guitar in his hand.

His live show – energetic. His lyrics – prophetic. His social skills – pathetic.

On a mission to pollute the world's hearts and minds with an accessibly-groovy brand of indie funk, Sparkman's guitar-driven tunes feature a mix of funky, jazz-tinged, and rock sounds.
