Black and Sparrow will be playing a FREE SHOW at The Space on June 27^th.  Klyph Black and John Sparrow began as a New York based acoustic duo whose musical and personal friendship has spanned many years.  Now, after a brief hiatus, Klyph and John are back together and their songs have taken on a whole new dimension with the addition of a full band behind them.  This show begins their journey back to live music and recording where they will perform new material from their latest collaboration “Second Time Around”.  You can hear some of their new music here.

In the past, Black and Sparrow have opened shows for The Subdudes, The New Riders of the Purple Sage, Mick Taylor, Taj Mahal, Hot Tuna and many other nationally known acts.  At their own performances, they have been joined on stage by Charles Neville as well as Grammy winner Terrance Simien.   Klyph is best known as the bass player for Zen Tricksters, playing and touring with them internationally as well as a composer for several prime time TV shows.  He also teamed up with Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Donna Jean Godchoux (Grateful Dead) recording their self-titled CD “Donna Jean & the Tricksters”.  John has scored music for the full-length movies “Schmucks” and “Marie”, where he also played a major acting role in the later film.

Klyph and John met years ago through a mutual friend while John was working with “Johnny Sparrow and the Vidals” and Klyph with the band “Urgent”, signed to Manhattan Records and produced by Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson.  They hit it off and a few years later “Black & Sparrow” was formed. This acoustic duo performed to sell-out crowds in Switzerland following the release of their first CD “Friend and Partner.”
