- **Event Description**: John Spengler and Frenemies
John Spengler started playing guitar over 50 years ago. His first guitar teacher was the late, great Charlie Bird. In middle school, after leaving the jazz guitar world, he formed a rock band called The Electric Spinach. They performed in seventh- and eighth-grade dances in the Washington, D.C., area. Then, after moving to Colorado from Lahore, Pakistan, at the start of his senior year of high school, he played in several bands. At the University of Colorado Boulder, John continued playing with fellow students and friends, mostly in the dorms. After earning a bachelor’s degree in biology, he returned to the Colorado Springs area and formed the local acoustic duo, Sage. During this time, he honed his performance skills. 

Two years later, he formed the popular regional band Lip Service. Lip Service went on to have a great seven-year run performing in Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, and Arizona. Through several personnel changes, John remained the frontman, and the band ended in 1989. After Lip Service, John taught high school science for 31 years, occasionally playing music with colleagues and students. After retiring from education, he became interested in songwriting and performing. He has released two CD/EPs, Workin’ On It (2017) and What Would You Change? (2019), with one full-length album titled You Can’t Beat Fun! (2024); all comprised of original music.
