Artist History
WpSpires started at the tender age of ten with a dust-ridden 'beater' Harmony six-string acoustic dreadnought passed down from his father. While growing up in South Carolina he first cut his teeth every evenin' around sundown while playin' for pop on the backporch. Later, he played in a band and hit the local scene. Along the way WpSpires has played various charity gigs and city events. Now WpSpires is flying solo pursuing his music and reaching out to ears and hearts, and to anyone who will listen!! |

Great guitar and such a silky feel this is a great tune. Who says mainstream radio knows what people want to hear?Peace,Bobby .....((That's one of the most beautiful love songs I'v ever heard. here's the point, I know that you don't need me to survive, but I must tell you that it's you that makes me feel alive. In the best of situations, love is an independent choice, few people seem to realize this. More WP Spires Wisdom.Nice Song. Thank you for it.Patti Left Turn Patti....WP Spires - Serenity's GrailBeautiful piano and acoustic guitar intro give way to a solid foundation of acoustic guitar for the lyric and solid harmonies to build a picturesqe tapestry over. This tune is performed with a ton of emotion which reaches out and grabs the listener and pulls them in.Spotlighting the simplicity of great songwriting as a medium for telling the story and sharing the emotion.If you are not familiar with WP.
