First, there's no band. There's just me. I play guitar, sing, and a very, very little piano. I've started to phase out the covers and have uploaded some of the originals that I've been writing over the last year or so.
Check jtspangler.com and myspace.com/jtspanglermusic for my up to date calendar.
I like to play stuff that you wouldn't normally hear on the guitar. I play a lot of old motown stuff, some Elton John, etc. I also like the acoustic soul vibe, so I try to make all the stuff I sing my own.
I'm a huge John Mayer fan (shocking, I know!), as well as James Taylor.
As for my originals, my goal has always been to write accessible, memorable, singable pop songs.
