Portland based performer and composer, Sparrow Wren, joins the Lightning In A Bottle Records flock. “Having built a large PNW following in a short period of time, she had been on our radar for a while” says LIAB Records owner Timmer Blakely. “When I heard that Frank Murray was working with her on a new album, I knew it was time for a meeting”. KISN fm host of Jazz Journey To Bluesville, DJ Dave Spacek, who had already begun spinning her independently released single, initiated the introduction. Her talent, heart, and enthusiasm sealed the deal.
Sparrow’s yet to be titled album is due out later in ‘23 and will be preceded by several single releases on LIAB Records. Produced and written by Sparrow and Frank Murray and recorded at “Fronk n' Wren production” studios in Portland OR, the songs showcase the evocative nature of Sparrow’s voice and the range of her compositional skills. More details on these releases to come.
While working on the new tracks, Sparrow continues to perform throughout the Pacific Northwest.
