As Spyro Gyra contemplates upcoming milestones in its storied career, it’s tempting to fall back on the Grateful Dead lyric, “What a long strange trip it’s been,” to describe the band’s journey. During its career, the band has performed over five thousand shows, released 29 albums (not counting “Best Of” compilations), and sold over 10 million albums, while also achieving one Platinum and two Gold releases. As the band celebrates 35 years since its first release and looks forward to celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2014, it slows little sign of slowing down, gaining Grammy nominations for each of its last four albums.
