The Infinity Music Hall in Hartford, CT hosted Spafford for a high-flying night of jams on Saturday. This weekend marked the start of Fall Tour and the return of guitarist and lead member Brian Moss to the stage, and what a return it was with some incredible improvisational performances by the band.
The first set soared to new levels with a mesmerizing "All My Friends > Bee Jam" combo that broke the 30-minute mark, launching deep into 'Type 2' jamming territory. The seamless transitions and exploratory nature of the jam had the crowd on their feet, fully immersed in the sonic journey.

Throughout the night, Spafford’s jamming abilities were on full display, as they locked into a groove that transformed the entire Infinity Music Hall into a pulsating dance floor. Newcomer and fill-in bassist Shon Gordon proved to be a natural fit, playing with the confidence and finesse of a seasoned veteran. His seamless integration into the band added to the night’s magic, making this performance one for the books.
Next up, Spafford heads to Summerdance in Garrettsville, OH at the end of August followed by a stop at the Adirondack Independence Music Festival in Lake George, NY. For tickets and more information about Spafford's upcoming shows, please visit spafford.net/tour.
