Hey, jam heads, welcome back to another episode of Schecky’s Jam Bands, the show where we dive deep into the grooves, the magic, and the madness of the jam band scene. Today, we’re heading to Prescott, Arizona, to talk about a band that’s been steadily climbing the ranks of the jam community with their explosive improvisation and fearless setlists — Spafford.
Spafford formed back in 2009 when guitarist and vocalist Brian Moss met bassist Jordan Fairless at an open mic night in Prescott. The two hit it off instantly — Brian had this soaring guitar tone and knack for taking solos into uncharted territory, while Jordan brought a steady but adventurous bass groove. They later added drummer Nick Tkachyk and keyboardist Andrew “Red” Johnson, locking in that signature Spafford sound: equal parts funk, rock, jazz fusion, and psychedelia.
