In a remarkable culmination of Spafford's 2024 SpaffSki Tour, The Public House in Crested Butte, CO brought sold-out crowds every night during the four-night run, set against the picturesque backdrop of the snow-covered Rocky Mountains. The peak of excitement reached its zenith on Saturday as a capacity crowd was treated to a memorable evening, highlighted by the revival of the band's original song, "Slip and Squander," with bassist Jordan Fairless taking the lead on vocals.  This melodic ballad, last played on New Year's Eve in 2022, made a triumphant return, captivating the audience with its emotive resonance.
