Spafford brought August to a close with a series of East Coast dates. On Thursday, August 27, the group rolled into New Haven, CT’s Toad’s Place and welcomed Lotus guitarist Tim Palmieri to the stage. Palmieri, a longtime area resident who pops up regularly in Connecticut when not on tour, emerged at the end of Spafford’s first set for the Pink Floyd classic “Run Like Hell.” The tune was one of several cover selections Spafford offered during the night, including Stone Temple Pilots’ “Plush” and Violent Femmes’ “Kiss Off.”
Spafford will kick off a run of September shows at South Salt Lake, UT’s The Commonwealth Room on September 15 while Lotus will host their annual Summerdance festival in Garrettsville, OH from September 4-6. Flying Mojito Bros, The Floozies and Saxsquatch, among others, will round out the bill.
