Spafford delivered another electrifying weekend of music starting with two nights at Woodlands Tavern in Columbus, OH and ending Sunday night at The Magic Stick in Detroit, MI. A highlight of the run came Sunday night with a rare and moving cover of Neil Young’s "War of Man", a selection the band has only performed a handful of times. The emotional depth of the song segued seamlessly into a massive version of fan-favorite instrumental “Dirtbath”, igniting the room with dynamic shifts and deep grooves.

The second set delivered a standout jam sandwich that highlighted the band’s signature flow, seamlessly infused with the timeless brilliance of world-renowned composer Johann Sebastian Bach's song, "Musette." With this unexpected fusion, Spafford once again expanded the boundaries of their musical catalog, channeling the spirit of a 16th-century master through a distinctly modern lens.
