Moss and Fairless had been playing the same open mic nights and after their first successful joint effort decided to team up and officially form a band: Spafford. After playing shows in their home state\, the pair found themselves on the hunt for a new partner to help them round out their group. They found keyboard player Andrew "Red" Johnson and asked him to voyage out to Las Vegas in the run up to their 2011 New Year's show in Prescott. Johnson agreed\, and has been with the band ever since. Now\, with drummer Cameron Laforest\, the band brings their vibrant\, dynamic music to the world at large and pushes the boundaries of what a jam band can be.\n\n\n\nSpafford is known for their astonishing improvisational ability\, which they'll use to play live off the cuff extended jams. Each song is a blank canvas\, and 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 their talent as musicians\, and of their formidable catalog of influences - ranging from Steely Dan\, electronic acts like The Crystal Method\, to 90's alt rock radio hits. Every 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.

\nSpafford is known for their astonishing improvisational ability\, which they&rsquo\;ll use to play live off the cuff extended jams. Each song is a blank canvas\, and Spafford paints a picture in real time each night with a musical palette known only to each other. It&rsquo\;s a private language comprised of their talent as musicians\, and of their formidable catalog of influences - ranging from Steely Dan\, electronic acts like The Crystal Method\, to 90&rsquo\;s alt rock radio hits. Every show is a sonic pilgrimage &ndash\; the journey of a team of musicians so in tune with each other that a single note communicates intent and purpose.
