Kindred Spirit

a band that grew out of The Grapes of Wrath · 1967 –

For more than three decades, out of the clubs and the War Memorial in Johnstown, Kindred Spirit played the songs a room full of people already loved — and made them their own.

This archive gathers what survives of the band: the two 1970 Intrepid singles, decades of live tapes, photographs, and the memories of the people who were there. It began as The Grapes of Wrath; when Dave Abraham moved on with that name, the rest brought in John Galiote and became Kindred Spirit.
