Spafford performed to a sold out Union Stage in Washington, DC on Thursday, January 25, 2018.

Spafford is Brian Moss (guitar/vocals), Jordan Fairless (bass/vocals), Andrew “Red” Johnson (keys/vocals), Cameron Laforest (drums/percussion/vocals). The performance is amplified by Ben Factor, who serves as their lighting designer.

The band was exceptionally well received during their first performance in DC. Midway through the second set, Fairless acknowledge DC's exuberant embrace, "DC! How you feeling?  Good to be here and nice to see you!"  Fans left energized by a lengthy two-set performance where they pulsated and vibrated to one beautiful jam after another while being mesmerized by Johnson's light show.

Formed in 2009, Spafford has been steadily touring the US and with each successive tour has expanded their range from their hometown of Prescott, AZ. They continue to amaze audiences, amass a growing fanbase and radiate a buzz of “you got to see this band when they come within driving distance of you”. In 2017, Spafford opened for Umphrey's McGee at several shows, performed at Peach Festival and The National in Richmond, VA. These strong performances gave DMV fans a first hand account of how exceptional this band is. In late 2017, Spafford announced they would be performing at the newly opened Union Stage at The Wharf.
