Solo on guitar, Sparlha is a velvetine clash of
impeccable vocals and haunting modal chords.
With her band comes a maddeningly satisfying
concoction of solid Latin-tinged bass lines,
intelligent and inventive beats, and a wildly
roving jazz-rooted piano. Hers is a sound that
ascends to Sade-like smoothness but with
rougher rock edges, catchy hooks, and an
international feel. Stunning, tender, contagious
and wise, her songs speak about love, life and
actualizing the true potential of the human spirit.
She is a sure promise of wonder for music
listeners of any genre.
Her recent musical exploits include securing a
Japanese distribution deal for her debut album In
The Distance, licensing 2 songs (Love Addiction

Billy Sheehan started playing about a
thousand years ago, by his own admission
starting with local Buffalo, NY bands which
evolved into a group called "Talas" in the
early 70's.
Talas played a zillion gigs & opened for
tons of major bands as they came through
Buffalo. Eventually, Talas opened for Van
Halen in 1980 and from that, David Lee
Roth called to start a band after he left
Van Halen.
After "Eat' Em & Smile" album & tour with
Dave, Steve Vai, Greg Bissonette, and
Brett Tuggle, the "Skyscraper" album was
recorded. After that, Billy was on his own
and started Mr. Big. Their first album did
OK, but the second one "Lean Into It"

went platinum and had several hits. Mr. Big continued on successfully
until 2001 when they split up.
As a side project, Billy started "Niacin" (Improvisational/fusion band) with
Dennis Chambers on drums and John Novello on B3---that's still going
strong and they're on their 5th record "Organik" now. Billy's first solo CD
was called "Compression" in 2002---on Steve Vai's "Favored Nations"
record label, followed up by his second solo CD "Cosmic Troubadour"
last year.
