The Spiritual Motels came onto the San Diego music scene in mid-2018 and consists of two of its veteran singer-songwriters. Featuring Amy Day of The Local and Omar Musisko of The Peripherals (former San Diego Music Award nominee for Best Americana), The Spiritual Motels blend a uniquely haunting female voice with a nuanced Americana/Alt-Country male voice to create lush harmonies and a sound that has been compared to The Head and the Heart, The Avett Brothers, and Simon and Garfunkel. Switching instruments through the set, the band utilizes guitar, piano, mandolin, accordion, harmonica, effects, and live loops/loop pedals.
