Groovy Sparrow

About Me

Somewhere in the middle of rock and folk, the melodies and harmonies of Groovy Sparrow are music for the soul. Groovy Sparrow is guitar, flute, bass and drums playing thoughtful original music as well as favorites by artists such as The Beatles and U2.

Groovy Sparrow's appearances include Chicago Peace Fest, The Orphanage, the Red Line Tap, the Elbo Room, Lilly's, Silvie's, the Hidden Cove (Chicago), the Buzz Cafe' (Oak Park), Penny Road Pub (South Barrington), FitzGerald's (Berwyn), JigglesFest (Milwaukee), and FrendlyFest (Union Grove WI)."
Note: Larry Barnes has so generously allowed us to use his beautiful sparrow photos on our website. Visit the Sagebrush Bird Conservation Network website at http://www.sagebrushbird.org for more fine examples of Larry's photos. Thank you Larry!
