Spafford continues to redefine the boundaries of live jam band performances. Last night, the Mercury Ballroom audience was treated to an unforgettable musical journey as Spafford performed a single song first set, the original fan-favorite “Todd’s Tots,” which spanned a mesmerizing 60 minutes of intricate improvisation.

The encore provided another unexpected twist, featuring a rare cover of “Tainted Love” by Soft Cell. This electrifying rendition marked only the fifth time the band has played the 1980s classic.
Spafford's fall tour rolls on tonight with a show in Madison, KY, followed by two performances in Tennessee before concluding the tour with a celebratory show in Atlanta at Variety Playhouse.
