Spence Wilder will rock you with his eclectic acoustic shows. Whether it’s his original songwriting and storytelling or material from his themed cover shows like The Eighties Unplugged or Spence Wilder Throws Like a Girl, a good time is guaranteed. Spence cites diverse influences ranging from Willie Nelson to Love and Rockets. Come on out, and hear him put a new spin on some old favorites.
Playing a range of genres.. Rock, Indie, Alternative, Country.. Original songs include I Can Hardly Wait, Goin' Goin' Gone, My Favorite Toy, Straight LIne, Barbie D.
"The wide variety of styles I am able to cover makes my shows special. My simple 'three chords and the truth' style makes my own songs special."
Others have said it's like a Violent Femmes/Dryvin' N Cryin' tour bus crash of percussive acoustic guitar playing. All around, Spence Wilder puts on a consistently entertaining show: from Radiohead to Motorhead, a little something for everyone.
Dave's claim to "fame" in the Atlanta indie rock scene is having been guitar player number 806 in Andy Browne's post-heyday Nightporters (between Sid and Clint, if you're still reading and you aren't Becky or Jeff Clark).
Dave started performing professionally in a touring cover band called The Exam. The Exam toured the East Coast playing small clubs and enormous out of control trash the place like Animal House frat parties (back when that was still cool).
These days you can catch Lonesome Dave in his new band, Tone Star. He also plays solo acoustic shows around Atlanta.
Man I was gutted to hear of Spence's untimely demise, timing sucks, I'd just secured him a lucrative record deal, damn, I'm gutted. Ah well, at least I have a bunch of bootlegs and some of his tracks, hmm, *maybe* I can fake his signature and cash the check they passed me for the advance.
Really though, tragic loss, was even thinking of opening a new venue just to shut him up, always whining about me no longer having a venue.
Anyway Bro, I'll spend your advance wisely I know that's how you'd have wanted it.
