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.
