About Us

Sparkle Shark Stringband circles the Seattle waters, performing a glittery fusion of bluegrass, pop/rock, and dance music. Their sparkly attire, unique musical arrangements, and dazzling original songs are brought to life through their vibrant live shows.

 

Each shark showcases their distinctive vocal stylings by sharing the lead role, and the trio creates a harmonious union of sound when they ring together.

 

The band draws influence from many artists including Lady Gaga, Elton John, The Stanley Brothers, Billy Strings, Gillian Welch, Demi Lovato, Dolly Parton, Rhiannon Giddens, Chris Stapleton, and many more.

 

Sparkle Shark has performed at notable venues in Seattle including Madame Lou’s, High Dive, Tim’s Tavern, Conor Byrne, Blue Moon Tavern, Lagunitas Seattle Taproom, Halcyon Brewing, and Cafe Racer.
