BIO

Fusing a mix of funk, rock, jazz, and reggae, Spare Parts is a Chicago based group rapidly gaining international acclaim. An eclectic list of influences ranging from Weather Report to the Beatles fuel the creative engines of Spare Parts - both live and in the studio.

Spare Parts consistently performs at premier venues and festivals across the United States and even internationally including the Festival de Jazz in Lima, Peru. They have shared the stage with artists such as Victor Wooten, Snoop Dogg, Fareed Haque, Lenny Pickett (SNL / Tower of Power), 2 Live Crew, Liquid Soul, and The Jazz Mandolin Project to name a few. Their 2006 release “Brain Candy” receives regular airplay and the band has scored music for several independent films and commercials.

Spare Parts remains focused on expanding their musical boundaries while attracting new listeners around the globe and leaving them thirsty for more. See you at the next show!

PRESS QUOTES

"Their jazzy styling sounds like Weather Report mixed with Jamiroquai. It was quite a set to catch."
-Kyndmusic.com

"Their performance at Martyrs’ Pub on Saturday, January 20, was stellar. They exuded so much energy that the audience couldn’t help but dance. The floor was packed and everyone loved it."
-Fruzsina Eordogh, FourMagazine.com

"Spare Parts' amazing roadwork and solid new CD are bringing the jazz/funk outfit acclaim and a growing base of fans."
-Chris Wissmann, Nightlife

"No matter who is in the crowd, Spare Parts is going to rock their worlds."
-Jason Soreno, The Pulse

"With a solid background in live performance as well as a growing college radio audience, Spare Parts adds a nice dynamic to their live show - something you can dance to."
-Billy Kenefick, Chicago Innerview

"Incredibly funky! A tight, concisely performed set of tunes, transforming them from a jam band into the more precise, composition-oriented unit Spare Parts are decidedly more progressive."
-Brent Stewart, Nightlife

"For jazz, R&B, funk and rock fans alike, Brain Candy has all the ingredients to satisfy any listening urge. It is surely a disc that will be difficult to keep out of any rotation."
- Jim Hagerty, Rock River Times
