“David Spires & Friends”!

I am so grateful to everyone who has come out to see and hear, “David Spires & Friends” at The Boatyard! It started with Dave Moran asking me to stop over and chat about an idea, and it’s come together because great friends have shown up to share their talents. We have one more scheduled – this Thursday night (3/10), featuring Howard Everitt, Cat Everitt, and Kevin Gorham! They will be a treat!

Here are a few pictures of the talent we’ve brought together – scheduled & unscheduled! Thank you: Todd Emrick, Reid Coleman, Mike Nelson, Randy Goin, Rese Jhordan, Shawna Corder, Vince Trocchia, and Matt Frampton!

Thank you Boatyard, Heidelberg Distributing, White Claw, and most of all – thanks to everyone who have shown up to support us. I appreciate you!

How many instruments do I need??? Sounding great Matt Frampton!

“You’re The Love I Couldn’t Dream Of”

New Music! I can’t believe this is my 4th single I’ve released in less than 12 weeks. It’s been exciting to put myself out there, and I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to listen.

“You’re The Love I Couldn’t Dream Of” tries to capture where I was when I fell in love with Jessica:

Broke, nearly broken, probably unworthy, and unable to even dream of a woman that could love me as she does.

She helps me, loves me, likes me, inspires me, sets an example for me, makes time to be creative, gives me truth (even when it’s hard to hear), and holds me accountable to be the man I want to see in the mirror. 11 years now, and I fall in love with her every day.

Happy New Year!

New year = more new music! The “Lake Life” and boat-floating theme continues. Local legend, Howard Everitt brought his trumpet down to North Bank Songs and gave this song just what it needed.

“What Floats Your Boat”: Whatever you’re lookin’ for, I hope you find it! (Cover art features Charlie Spires. He certainly does float my boat!)

Release Day!!!!

“Lake Life”!
I’ve been a part of so many single releases over the years. It’s always an exciting time, but this is special for me. I wrote it, sang it, played it, recorded it. Now, it’s out in the world! I hope you get some happiness out of this song, and crank it up the next time you head to the lake!

You can buy it on iTunes, or stream it wherever you listen to your music:
