After many years of songwriting and playing with different bands and friends, Sparrow has finally recorded her first solo album called Set Sail. With lots of layers and a little help from her fiends, this album features all original tunes played with many of her favorite instruments, and ranges in style from old-time to wistful circusy waltzes. 　　 　　From city wide children’s choir to high school orchestra to street performance in New Orleans and San Francisco, Sparrow’s life has always revolved around music. Classically trained in viola and voice, with a year of college level music theory, she entered adulthood ready to embark upon the sea of artistic life. Since she picked up an accordion in 2003, Sparrow has never looked back… 　　 　　She has learned from everyone she could, but especially from Tim Roust, with occasional lessons from Dan Cantrell and August Hoerr. Currently, she plays with the 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.
