Gr8sparks (Dave & Chrissi)

About Me

We're David and Chrissy Sparks, married and doing music for more years than you can imagine. We are also songwriters and in addition to performing 'cause it's fun, we are always trying to write/sell new material (anyone want to buy a song?).We've done all sorts of projects together, throughout the years but Dave has always been doing music, playing bass and lead guitar (Irish band Che, "Michael Anthony" in Van Halen Tribute band Panama as well as our original bands).Most recently, we are in the role of songwriters and are working on getting our songs recorded and published by mainstream performers. . .You know who you are - LOL. With working, having a house, 2 kids and a dog, it's difficult to keep up performing so we are working hard at just getting our music heard so it can be shared with the WORLD.Enjoy!

Who the hell is Chrissi Sparks?

Who the hell am I?I am a nobody.  I don't say that as an insult, simply a fact.  Outside of my family and people I work with, I do not exist.  It is my goal to change that - at least a little bit.  I ...

Senior Year of High School

Okay, senior year of high school should be called "Year I drained my parents" - sorry Ian, in case you read this.  Whatever happened to getting nice clothes, driving to the dances with your friends.  ...
