Melissa Remembers Her Brother, Dan Spano

Melissa Remembers Her Brother, Dan Spano

Melissa was on with Chaz and AJ to talk about her brother, Dan. Dan was 30 years old, tremendously healthy with no underlying conditions, a gym owner and trainer in Norwalk, and died of COVID-19. Melissa told us how quickly the virus affected him, what the doctors told them about why a healthy person like Dan would be so affected, and how difficult it was to say goodbye.

Some great bands emerged from Seattle’s grunge scene in the early to mid 1990s. Among those bands was Candlebox, who found immediate success with their self-titled debut album in 1993. Today we look back at an intimate show they did in Hartford in 2012.

Today’s Throwback Concert:

Candlebox

Opening Acts: Sugar Red Drive and Acidic

Underground Stage: Hatchet Harry, Lentner, Civil Drone, and Idle Tree

The Webster Theater – Hartford

 

About The Tour: Candlebox hit the road in 2012 in support of its fifth studio album, Love Stories & Other Musings. The first leg of the 29-city tour started in Shreveport, LA in early April and played in mostly clubs along the east coast. The new album was released just a month before the Webster Theater show. Love Stories & Other Musings featured nine new tracks (five of which were played at the Webster Theater show) and five bonus tracks – including re-records of past hits “Far Behind,” “Cover Me,” and “Simple Lessons.”
