Jon Spear Band is a group which usually plays along USA middle-east coast, where it has a faithful audience who follows them to every festival, club, bar or different venues where they regularly are booked.
Nominated for Blues Blast Magazine awards in 2016, they now present their fourth album recorded on studio during the confinement time and includes thirteen songs, most of them composed and written by Jon Spear which, according to his own words, come to be like a collection of those B-sides of the old 45 rpm records that included a hit on the A side but, many times, on the B side they hid true musical treasures. All the album songs become a real example of the varied palette of sounds and the vibrant colors the band develops with commitment and a lot of charisma, in a kind of music that could be defined like actual rock-blues with a touch of funk, r&r, soul and Americana.
Led by the guitars and vocals of Jon Spear and Dara James, the other band members are Andy Burdetsky on bass and John Stubblefield on drums, plus the special collaboration of Skip Haga on keyboards.
