Oct. 16th @ 9pm Spare Parts $3 cover
Originally assembled to support Clive Pohl’s studio CD “JUGGLING”

The ensemble continues to perform mostly original songs (some with and some without words) written by Mr. Pohl but the chemistry of the players and the compositions themselves have evolved to reflect diverse interests from social concerns to the simple quest for fun.

The core of band includes Clive Pohl (guitar, voice), Tom Wilhelm (bass), Dennie Kirtley (trumpet and handrums) and Tom Martin on keyboards. Additional Spare Parts have been known to participate including Lissa Pohl (voice), Stephanie Raglin (voice), and Arthur Rouse (drums).

Each performance is a unique event with new material and new interpretations of familiar originals.
