On a cold and rainy night, on what seemed to be normal February evening, Michael Spaulding closed his eyes and fell asleep. After a very long, painful, and fitful sleep he woke with visions of the dark days of his past, broken memories of drug addiction, parental loss, and the pains of love and love lost. With these visions and memories fresh in his mind he began sculpting lyrics and music, which would turn into his debut solo EP "From Then To Now," on which Michael sang and played every instrument, with the exception of the drums, which were played by his producer Joe Merrick of Guilty Dog Studios.

With this album being his solo and vocal debut (having played guitar in the past for local Boston rock band Synj, along with many others) Michael’s vision of musical greatness became, to him, a more possible reality. After the release of “From Then To Now” Michael gathered an amazing collection of musicians to form a live band consisting of drummer Chris Tagliaferro, bassist Jay Dwire, and guitarists Rich Spates and Josh Goodno.

In less than 12 months from bands debut live show (which was to a sold out crowd) the now complete “Spaulding” has already accomplished much more than would normally ever be expected from a new band after only a year.
