Canada with members Des Parks (vocals), Jon Dombroski (guitar), Liam Holm (drums), Russell McCann (percussion), Chad Plamondon (guitar) and Caden Doyle (bass). Inspired by old school roots of Rock & Roll, Sparrow Blue has developed their own classic sound coining the term Real Thick Rock & Roll. With influences such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin and Mountain, the band’s hard-rock music and high-energy performances are sure to bring fire to any stage.
Sparrow Blue has shared the stage with renowned artists such as Finger Eleven, The Sheepdogs, The Trews, Default, The Dirty Nil, The Watchmen, Wide Mouth Mason, Rick Springfield, The Pursuit of Happiness, Tommy Tutone, One Bad Son, The Lazys (opened for them on their Canada tour 2024) and much more. The band has played many notable festivals such as NXNE, Taste of Edmonton, Taste of Calgary, Edmonton RockFest, Funtastic Fest Vernon, Together Again Music Fest, Extreme Mudfest and many more. The band also had an extremely successful touring season in 2024, seeing sold out cities all across Canada (23 shows in 30 days). Sparrow Blue recently released their latest album “No Lies, No Tricks” which was recorded in their own home studio called "The Blue Room''. Currently, the band is picking up major steam as they embark on their first international tour entitled “SPARROW BLUE NORTH AMERICAN TOUR 2025”, which will have at least 26 dates across USA and Canada.

SATIN BANSHEE:
The birth of the wailing Satin Banshee goes back to 2018, when three high school pals formed over a love of molten hot rock. Guitar hero and snarly vocalist Jordan Marks had previously been in heavy blooz-rockers Armadillo and the rhythm section of bassist Aaron Crowe and drummer Jack Yanda hashed it out in the Recall, an outfit that paid tribute to rockers as diverse as the Stooges, Graveyard and Steely Dan. The trio all share a DIY aesthetic, and love of classic and alterna-rock, stoner/doom, and even jazz fusion. Marks favors axmen like Blackmore, Uli Jon Roth, Kazuo Takeda (of Japanese dark-shredders Blues Creation), and even St. Rhoads, so his fierce shreds factor heavily into SB's thick scuzzy sound. The serious-minded Satin Banshee started playing out regularly only after years of honing their formidable chops, emerging from the basement with their own unique brand of "heavy garage death glam." Indebted to hard-driving bands like Pentagram, the New York Dolls, and the Scorps, the boys have recently opened for like-minded souls like stoney-rawkin' Nebula and Atomic Bitchwax, southern fried chooglers Smokey Mirror, and the desert riffin' Dead Feathers (indeed, the bassist of DF, Rob Rodak now has joined SB on bass, with Crowe moving to second guitar position) The screaming Banshee dropped their first album at the end of 2023, A Town Called Doom, and the Chicago Reader exclaimed that the LP "slings buckets of mesmerizingly heavy riffs," and Doomcakes at Screaming From the Heavy Underground declared that SB "delivers glam... combined with vibrant garage rock, but always with a discernable vein of darkness snaking throughout their sound" The hard-gigging band promises a new EP in upcoming months, so catch them and their scorching wah wah licks (and headbands!) when you need to testify at the altar of true, excessive rock n roll. - Plastic Crimewave
