About
The Spares is an Americana band from Chicago, Illinois that consists of Jodee Lewis and Steve Hendershot. Jodee and Steve are often joined by Jason Reed, Doug Zylstra and various ringers.
The Spares’ music is “hauntingly gorgeous” (Maverick Magazine), “simple, aching and hearty” (NewCity Chicago) and “somewhere in heaven between Gram Parsons and Alison Krauss” (Smother Magazine). Their last CD was a finalist for 2009 Americana Album of the Year in the Just Plain Folks Music Awards.
