Jon Spear Band :: OLD SOUL

Jon Spear Band’s debut album, Old Soul, showcases their songwriting and musical talents, combining intriguing lyrics with creative musicianship to produce a memorable experience. Six of the tracks feature singer/guitarist Dara James, a talented young man, whose soulful vocals and fiery guitar solos are a large part of the band’s distinctive sound. The work of award-winning singer-songwriter/guitarist Jon Spear is also much in evidence with nine original compositions. Bassist Andy Burdetsky and drummer John Stubblefield provide a solid rhythm section as well as some standout solos.

 

“Devil’s Highway” is a mesmerizing blues-influenced rock number about an individual who is forced to confront his demons in a direct but unexpected way, while ‘Paid in Full’ evokes memories of the great R&B soul singers of yesteryear. Read more details here...
