Spafford Opens Winter Tour in Broad Brook, CT with Temptations Cover

Article Contributed by gratefulweb | Published on Sunday, January 14, 2024

The eclectic band Spafford is constantly pushing the boundaries of improvisation and creativity.  On a stage where Houdini himself performed, Spafford created more magic for the fans who attended either night of the two-night winter tour opening run at historic Broad Brook Opera House.  The first night was highlighted by the high energy originals "Broken Wing">"Walls" which consists of forty-four minutes of musical fun.

Night two brought many surprises and spectacular performances of songs such as "Todd's Tots," "Double Time," and a trance version of the all instrumental original, "Ginger Stardust."  The exceptional bust out was easily the cover of the 1960s classic "The Way You Do the Things you Do" by The Temptations.  In true Spafford form, this cover went deep into type two jam territory and is perhaps the longest version of this song ever to be played in its history.

Spafford's 2024 winter tour continues tonight at Aura in Portland, ME before a two-night run at Soundcheck Studios in Pembroke, MA 1/13 and 1/14.  To listen to any of Spafford's recent live performances, visit Spafford's YouTube page, your Nugs.net account, or Spafford's Bandcamp page.  Check out all the winter dates below and get your tickets for the next show near you at spafford.net/tour.
