Dale Spalding

When not on tour with legendary band Canned Heat or Latin Jazz giant Poncho Sanchez, Dale Spalding can either be found performing solo or leading his band in his native California, or in Austin, Texas, where he's now based and holds down a weekly solo gig and performs as a member of Austin’s premier blues band, “Little Elmore Reed.” The in-demand musician has also appeared and/or recorded with Dave Alvin, James Cotton, Marcia Ball, Ruthie Foster, Papa Mali, Otis Rush, Pinetop Perkins and Redd Volkaert, among the many.
