Sass Parilla, the Singing Gorilla

From the wilds of Borneo...to somewhere near you!!

About Me

I came up in the Wilds of Borneo, where I studied voice and bass playing.
I came to America in an effort to beat a better path for singing gorillas everywhere.
I'm against singing telegrams, as they prove to further dilate peoples' opinion of what is the stereotypical singing gorilla (which I don't consider myself).
I appear often around Atlanta, at music shows, burlesque shows, parties, street corners, and other venues.
I've been told that I should warn those of you with weak constitutions: The harmony is implied.
Big News! Atlanta's own Blake Myers , independent film maker has posted one of my movies on youtube! Check it out:
