About Spafford
Website | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube | Spotify | Apple Music
Spafford are known for their astonishing improvisational ability and off-the-cuff extended jams, Spafford paints a picture in real-time each night with a musical palette known only to each other. It’s a private language comprised of both their talent as musicians as well as their formidable catalog of influences, spanning 90’s alt-rock radio hits to Steely Dan and The Crystal Method. Each Spafford show is a sonic pilgrimage, the journey of a team of musicians so in tune with each other that a single note communicates intent and purpose. Spafford is amongst the most creative and hard-traveling bands on the contemporary jam scene, performing countless sold-out headline dates along with high profile festival sets at Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, Firefly Music Festival, and many others.

About Morel
Morel began in Kutztown, Pennsylvania in 2015. Guitar player Will Gardiner and drummer Brett Flynn met during an epic kitchen jam session in the infamous neighborhood, the Cliffs! The two quickly formed a brotherly bond through smooth soaring guitar riffs and daringly dynamic drum grooves. Over the years the two of them kept working on their craft with the help of many other musicians and friends.
In Spring 2021, Will began playing solo acoustic gigs around Chester County, PA. He charmed large crowds with his abilities to loop, improvise, and undoubtably bring a friendly vibe to any venue.
By Fall 2021 the mycelium started to work its magic, and Brett began to join his friend Will at his gigs. The birth of "Willy and the G's". This naturally ignited the process of foraging up some more bandmates. The two of them played with a multitude of guitarists, bassists, keyboardist before they harvested three more bandmates. Bass player, Eliza Claffy, guitar player, Matt Vitali, and Keyboard player Jody Salani all three found themselves a home in the band. This is when "Willy and the G's" transcended into the band Morel.
