Since their inception in 2012, the Spurs have kept a relentless schedule of recording, playing locally, and touring. After nearly 500 live appearances in almost a dozen countries, and with a slew of albums and singles to their name, Jenny Don’t And The Spurs are just getting warmed up. The Spurs were founded one cold, winter’s evening by Jenny and Kelly. Jenny had been fronting her own band, DON’T, for some time, as well as playing the occasional solo acoustic set here and there. Kelly, who had been in a slew of Portland punk bands since the 80’s, and who had spent the previous several years balancing a grueling touring schedule playing drums with the garage rock trio PIERCED ARROWS and bass with Portland punk-rock destroyers P.R.O.B.L.E.M.S., and wanted to switch gears a bit. After the concept of forming a raw, real, and back-to-the-roots country band had taken hold, it wasn’t long before the couple was rehearsing a seminal set of standards by such influential early country crooners and outlaws like Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Ernest Tubb, and Hank Sr., as well as a sprinkling of originals. It was only a few weeks later that Kelly’s bandmates Fred and Toody Cole got wind of the developing musical project that was taking form in Jenny and Kelly’s kitchen and decided to call their bluff by giving them an unsolicited support slot on an upcoming show featuring the Cole’s own solo two-piece act. Not having anticipated such a high-profile live appearance as a first live outing, and feeling like the guitar-and-bass-only lineup that the band had started life as was lacking something on the rhythm end of things, they decided to ask their friend Sam Henry to join them on drums. Sam, who in addition to being Jenny’s bandmate in DON’T and sometimes solo-set-collaborator, had already had a long, well respected career as one of Portland’s best drummers, having played with such first-generation punk bands as the Wipers, The Rats and Napalm Beach. After a couple of weeks of practice, the debut live appearance of the band went off without a hitch and the core lineup of Jenny Don’t And The Spurs was born. The trio of Jenny, Kelly, and Sam existed in this form for the first year-an-a-half or so of the band’s existence, playing whatever local venue would take them – bars, clubs, porches, basements, backyards, and even a bookstore. This worked well for a while, and occasionally the Spurs would enlist talent from a pool of several friends to sit in on lead guitar or lap steel. The addition of a second guitar rounded out the sound of the band to the point where Jenny and Co. decided to make it a permanent part of the band’s lineup. After a couple of false starts and a bit of difficulty finding a fourth member who could commit to the Spur’s sometimes grueling touring schedule, the incredible Christopher March became a member of the family in early 2017. Christopher brought with him a wealth of talent and live gig experience, having spent years playing on the Northwest Country, Rockabilly, and Honky-Tonk circuit. ​ Now, with several West Coast and North American tours, as well as three European tours and hundreds of local shows under their tooled-leather Western belts, the Spurs are gearing up for the release of their third full-length studio album. The Spurs are a musical force to be reckoned with, the intensity and energy of their live set, and dazzling Western outfits handmade by Jenny herself, the band is a must-see for anyone who enjoys spirited garage-infused country music played with sincerity and raw conviction. Silver Treason Kevin Cameron spent 9 years in Seattle performing periodically as a solo artist under the name “Silver Treason”, he’d taken up the pseudonym after a quick internet search revealed a country singer in Northern California named Kevin Cameron. His friends’ band Burns Like Hellfire asked him to open a show for them in Spokane. A few months after that show he ended up moving back to his hometown of Spokane and continued solo performances until BLH guitarist Jamie Frost (also lead guitarist for The Makers - Estrus, KillRockStars, Sub Pop) asked if he could add some pedal steel guitar to the songs. Frost had recently taken up the instrument and was eager to play it. The pair played a couple of shows as a duet and were later joined by Frost’s former Burns Like Hellfire bandmates drummer Cameron Smith, and bass player Brian Young. Young later left the band to form Cursive Wires and was replaced by fellow Burns Like Hellfire alumni Bill Barrington. BAND NAME ORIGIN When Kevin’s mother was a teenager she attended Marycliff, the parish (free) Catholic girls school in Spokane. All of her friends attended Holy Names Academy, the private Catholic girls school. She desperately wanted to go to Holy Names - in part to be with her friends and in part because Holy Names held social functions like dances and hayrides with Gonzaga Prep, the then all-boys Catholic school. Unfortunately the family couldn’t afford the tuition. One day she was at the horse races at Playfair Race Course with her father when he said to her, “You pick a horse for me to bet on for the final race of the day and if it wins, we’ll split the money.” She picked a horse, the horse won the race, it paid $250, and she paid one year’s tuition ($100) to Holy Names Academy with her half of the winnings. The horse’s name was Silver Treason. Jenny Don't And The Spurs Lucky You Lounge is 21+ at all times.
