Biography
Formed long before the label “Americana music” was coined, the father and son rock and roll duo are considered to be among the founding artists such as Los Lobos, Steve Earle, the Blasters and others who helped to define the genre.
Celebrating their 20th anniversary of playing together professionally in 2006, Tom and Ian Spanic have appeared on many national TV shows including Saturday Night Live, Late Night With David Letterman and Late Night With Conan O'Brien, and their songs have been featured in numerous TV shows, movies, commercials and video games.
Their 2007 album, SUNSHINE, is the Spanic Boys eighth release, following the critically-acclaimed TORTURE (2001 Checkered Past), and the band’s first on their own Cinaps Records.
Featuring the Spanic Boys’ trademark twin-attack Fender guitar interplay and unique vocal harmonies, standout tracks include the opening track, a classic Spanic Boys’ rocker “Honey,” the psychedelic-meets-roots sound of title track “Sunshine” and the thoughtful “Hold Me.”
SUNSHINE also features contributions from bassist T-Bone Wolk (Carly Simon, Elvis Costello, Hall & Oates) and drummer Brad Elvis (The Romantics, Elvis Brothers, The Handcuffs).
