About Sparrow
There are at least three bands named Sparrow: 1) A post-rock/instrumental band from Beijing, China. Started in 2008. www.yoursparrow.com 2) Sparrow are four friends from Brighton and Cambridge who craft sad, beautiful, thoughtful pop music. Using natural, unprocessed sounds, resonant girl/boy harmonies and hypnotic rhythmic arrangements, Sparrow have developed a striking and unique sound. Challenging, addictive, spacious yet warm, Sparrow's music looks at the everyday things that go uncelebrated in a cold modern world. http://www.sparrowband.com 3) Sparrow is many-talented artist based in Asheville, North Carolina. She mistook her mother's statement that she could be anything she wanted to be to mean she could be everything she wanted to be. Somehow, she ended up picking up an absurd assortment of instruments such as the accordion, viola, banjo, and saw. She ran away with the runaway circus, performing feats of acrobatics, tap and belly dancing, and leading the big circus band. She performs with Baraka Mundi, the Bandit Queens of Belly Dance, and teaches weekly classes. In her free time she is a mom, partner, and part time farmer. www.sparrowsings.com, http://sugarfootserenaders.com Currently, she plays with the Resonant Rogues, Asheville Tango Orchestra, the Sugarfoot Serenaders, and LaiLou, as well as performing and recording solo. She also leads the big Runaway Circus Band, which is a community group of 10-20 musicians who come together to play for the community circus every winter.
