Spafford is 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.

Mono Means One is an instrumental progressive-psychedelic trio led by bassist and composer John Ferrara of Consider the Source. Fusing virtuosic musicianship with mood-rich textures and poignant melodies, the band has been flooring audiences up and down the East Coast with a sound that sits somewhere between Radiohead, The Mars Volta, and Medeski Martin & Wood.

Their sets are masterful explorations of polyrhythmic rock and lush, groovy backdrops — blending improvisation with tightly composed passages to create a dynamic musical journey. One moment you’re spiraling into the chaotic cosmos, the next you’re grounded in a serene melodic homeostasis. With hypnotic rhythms and atmospheric depth, Mono Means One doesn’t just perform music — they conjure an otherworldly experience that feels like stepping into the thick air of a black hole, each note pulling you deeper into their gravitational field.
