About Me


Three of the members of Truman Sparks have now moved on to other musical projects. The remaining member is through with music altogether. Truman Sparks is done. This is not a joke. We would like to thank everyone that came to our shows, put us up, bought our shit, and let us know we were loved. We are sorry it had to end this way.
