Sparkbird
Sparkbird is the project of singer-songwriter Stephan Nance (they/them). Their songwriting blends speculative storytelling with a “slice-of-life aesthetic… reminiscent of Sufjan Stevens and Joni Mitchell” (Good Music Radar). Sparkbird's performance history spans three tours of Japan and others in the UK, Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Russia, and Italy. They have toured the US and Canada in support of Elio Mei, Shayfer James, Fish in a Birdcage, Cosmo Sheldrake, and Rabbitology.Stephan lives in New York City with their partner Adam, along with an 18-year-old Senegal parrot named Georgie, and a 47-year-old Yellow-naped parrot named Fred. Stephan is currently working on their next album and a young adult novel.
