      Hi. I live in Florida. I had the chance to see Spafford in Orlando, but I didn't go, because I hadn't heard much of their music except on Endless Boundaries.

      I am a 1.0 Phish fan, that got married and had kids and am getting back in the jam scene again after a long break. I realized the Phish petty much just plats MSG and Dicks and a few other places and even though they are my favorite band ever, I realistically might not ever see them live any more.

      So I posted on Phish.net for some names of bands and have been listen to a bunch. But today I really fell for Spafford and I am 100% in. I want a band that is young and has a lot of energy. I want a band willing to take risks. I want a band that tours so I can actually see them live. I want a band that jams but is not too dry or formulaic. I want a band with vocals that are sung from the heart.

      I believe have found all that with Spafford.

      I don't know the songs, the lingo, the names of the band members. I really don't know anything except that it clicked and I want more. Fortunately, between nugs and Archive and youtube, I have a lot of options. 🙂

      So I am an empty cup. Fill me up with Spafford love. Comment and say hi and teach me something!!!

        PS: This forum interface is pretty sweet. Beats rec.music.phish! You young fans with your new stuff. Hat tip to whoever runs this place.

          Welcome! Few things are better than finding a new band and getting to dive in head first, right?

          Here are a few threads that will give you plenty to listen to for a while:

          And a great in-studio "show" they played:

              Thanks! This will do nicely!

              I have been told that this site isn't as nearly as active as Spaff's FB fan group, but I am not going to use FB, so I will concentrate my efforts here.

                @harbo That is pretty awesome. that you have a wife in the guys. My wife might go and she'd tolerate it because she is a nice person, but she would not be excited about it. 🙂
