SPAFFORD Announces Much Anticipated 2nd Studio Album, ‘FOR AMUSEMENT ONLY,’ Due Out May 4th, 2018 As A Self-Release

Pre-Order Happening Now: iTunes | Amazon

For Immediate Release:

It has been nearly 6 years since Spafford’s self-titled debut record and much has happened in that time frame for the quickly ascending band hailing out of Phoenix, AZ. Today, Spafford announces plans for a follow-up studio record, For Amusement Only, due out May 4th, 2018. Pre-order is happening now via iTunes and Amazon.

Since their debut studio record, Spafford has released 5 official live records and their hour-long impromptu improv Abaculus: An Improvisational Experience, but fans have long speculated when the next studio album would be ready. The wait is finally over. For Amusement Only will include studio renditions of fan favorites “Leave the Light On,” “Ain’t That Wrong,” and “Mind’s Unchained,” as well as new songs like “Fuel” and “When It Falls.” Please find a full tracklisting below. For Amusement Only will be self-released by the band via Seed.

Although Spafford first toured outside of the Southwest during the tail end of 2016, the group has quickly transformed into a nationally touring powerhouse – nearly every 2018 tour date thus far has sold out in advance. In addition to the album release, later this year, Spafford will make debut appearances at Red Rocks Amphitheater for Bisco Inferno, Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival and Firefly Music Festival. A full list of upcoming dates can be found below.
