Borrowed Time
Borrowed Time is a bunch of friends that decided it was crazy to let all our gear continue collecting dust, so we cleaned it off to bring some classic rock tunes to everyone that wants to hear them. We LOVE what we are doing, and we think it shows. Come out and enjoy an evening of Classic tunes, and have a blast. Skynyrd,Stevie Ray,38 Special, Styx, Cream, etc...
Style: Classic Rock Band
Members: MICHAEL SPANGLER/Lead Vocals
Michael started his music adventure when he bought his first drum set from his sister’s boyfriend at the age of 13. He loved groups like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Sabbath and Kiss- he wanted to pound on the drums regardless if it was popular with his sports background. Mike has always found fast and high energy music addicting. Later, joining w/ Borrowed Time proved to be the best time he has ever had playing music. It also gave him the opportunity to try something different- Michael has moved to the front line. He likes the excitement and the mobility of being a lead singer so he can tear into some powerful classic rock, and even a couple dancers. There was a time when drums and screaming guitars were the only thing Michael was interested in, but now the singing world has opened up a new dimension, inspiring a passion for vocal dynamics and stage performance!!!!
BOB COFFEY/Keyboards
Bob Coffey has been serving local musicians as the owner of Coffey Music since 1984. After 20+ years of working hard behind the counter he decided it was time (Borrowed) to hone his keyboard skills and form a band with former employees, customers & friends. The result is a great sounding ensemble with a wide variety of styles and sounds. Bob continues to work on the piano stylings of Billy "It's Pretty Complex"*Payne(Little Feat)* & Mr. Billy Powell RIP(Lynyrd Skynyrd).
BILL COURPAS/Bass & Vocals
Bill's music bug bit when he heard his first Kiss album, which his father quickly insisted he turn the volume down...MANY years ago. Now prefers almost all Classic Rock, especially Rush, Queen, Jeff Beck, Styx , Bad Co.,Cream, Beatles, Deep Purple, Led Zep, and Sabbath !!! (Thanks to my siblings for some of these) And the occasional jazz bassist extraordinaire...Jaco,Victor,Stanley,etc... Loves when his wife, kids, and family can attend BT gigs!! Also loves his musical toys, as you can see when he plays with them. Thanks to Coffey Music and Music Go Round!!! And Thanks to everyone that makes this hobby so much fun!!!!
BRIAN/Lead Guitar
Brian received his 1st guit-fiddle in 1983 from his father, Jim. Jim played in country bands around the area for many years. It was natural that Brian was influenced by the country axe-men. As a teen he continually rocked to the likes of Van Halen, Ozzy (Randy Rhoads era), Night Ranger, Styx, Triumph, SRV, and his favorite band Boston. Brian then settled into his niche with the sound and style of Southern Rock. He immersed himself into learning and playing everything from the ultimate Lynyrd Skynyrd to 38 Special, Molly Hatchet, Blackfoot and ZZ Top. Southern Rock can definitely be heard in Brian's style or lack thereof. Many years later (and several bands), Brian is happy to be finally settled into a band with superb musicians with similar tastes.(except for Bill) :)
