About The Spares
The Spares are a Chicago-based Americana duo whose music was featured on HBO's True
Blood this summer (2011). Jodee Lewis and Steve Hendershot formed The Spares in 2005, and
their original acoustic music has been described as "hauntingly gorgeous" (Maverick Magazine),
"simple, aching and hearty" (NewCity Chicago), and "somewhere in heaven between Gram
Parsons and Alison Krauss" (Smother Magazine). "[Their music] might seem too beautiful, too
ethereal, too country to be a product of gritty grey Chicago, but indeed it is," says WBEZ's Alison
Cuddy. For more information and bookings, visit www.thespares.com
