musicians for hire
I am the drummer and back up singer in a local Dallas cover band called
Sparky and the
Blue Wonders
There are 4 of us in the band, and our lead singer, Cathy Smith, has a beautiful voice with an
amazing range!
We’ve been playing together for over 6 years, and we perform rock, country, folk, alternative,
oldies, and even a few jazz tunes. We like to be eclectic so that we can perform in a
variety of venues.
We’ve performed at weddings, banquets, parties, coffee houses, and even played at Zoobilee,
the big annual shindig at the Dallas Zoo!
Here’s a short list of some of the songs we perform. Stay tuned while we get this Web page up to
speed and offer photos and audio clips!
