Improvisational rock favorites Spafford have added a string of Southeastern dates to their 2026 fall tour, bringing the band’s signature exploratory jams to venues across Tennessee, the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida this November.
The newly announced run begins November 10 at Barley’s Taproom in Knoxville, Tennessee, before heading to Charlotte’s Visulite Theatre, the High Gravity Room at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. in Mills River, North Carolina, From the Earth Brewing Company in Roswell, Georgia, and The Radio Room in Greenville, South Carolina.
The tour then shifts to Florida with stops at Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, Heartwood Soundstage in Gainesville, The Social in Orlando and The Funky Biscuit in Boca Raton before wrapping November 21 at Jannus Live in St. Petersburg.
The announcement comes as Spafford prepares to host Phish after-parties this weekend at The Cutting Room in New York City following Phish’s shows at Madison Square Garden.
The late-night performances on July 24 and 25 are expected to feature the band’s improvisational approach that has made Spafford a favorite destination for fans looking to keep the music going after the main event.
Known for crafting unique setlists and taking songs into uncharted territory each night, Spafford continues to build on its reputation as one of the jam scene’s premier live acts.
The quartet’s willingness to embrace spontaneous improvisation has earned the band a devoted following, with no two performances ever exactly alike.
Fans can also expect to hear material from the band’s recently released studio album, Cat Shop, alongside the expansive live improvisation that has become Spafford’s calling card.
