Hello world. My name is Thomas Sparks.I'm a 36 year old multi-instrumentalist/singer/songwriter who has been singing since before I can remember.I grew up in Atlanta,Georgia,and there I was singing solos in my church at a young age, as well as participating in talent shows throughout my school years. An American classic series of events led me to The Great Northwest. In particular the North Olympic Peninsula in Western Washington State.It has been here where I picked up an acoustic guitar and started honing my skills to a competitive level.I was 22 then and I don't regret it one bit.Since then I have learned harmonica,bass guitar,keyboards,drums and a more extensive knolwledge of effects settings and recording techniques.
Anyone who knows me, knows that I have had to overcome some pretty large pitfalls along the way to make my music available.That said, lately I have been able to compile a lot of my past material,as well as a few newer songs on one Compact Disc called Lost Takes.It is now available for sale here at thomassparksmusic.com ,(Release Date:May 5th 2009).If you happen to have a MYSPACE ACCOUNT,you can listen to a few of the songs and even download a couple of them for free to your profile if you link to: www.myspace.com/thomassparks36 , Here's my other links - www.youtube.com/thomassparks36 , www.twitter.com/thomassparks36 , www.reverbnation.com/#/thomassparks36 . More recently, I have been donating my input as a field reporter as well as voted #1 Top Artist for over two months at www.mullyradio.com . I have been asked by fans of the Blind Melon Forum to try out for Blind Melon. On 3-07-10 I was given natonal attention. www.coasttocoastam.com featured me as an EMERGING ARTIST !!! I have a full band for local gigs, and am #1 on the Reverb Nation Rock Charts for Port Angeles, so things are lookin' up. For the most part - My style and influence flow from the Almighty God and the amazing world we live in,along with folks like Paul Mccartney,The Beatles,Shannon Hoon and Brad Smith from Blind Melon,Chris Cornell, Producers Glenn Ballard and Rick Parashar, Sebastian Bach from Skid Row ,Heart, Dave Grohl, BadFinger and so many others.
Anyway, I held my CD release party on June 6th 2009 @ 7pm. Now that I have my past songs out there on my CD Lost Takes. I will also announce more local & regional shows every year for spring and summer. All the while trying to attain a few things I need to continue my work on a brand new full length CD.So check my SHOWS page periodically because good music and great times are always coming this way !
Very Truly Yours,
Thom Sparks

Sweet Pea- He's only 4 years old in summer 2012.
This is Lyra -Leigh my darling. She was my Matriarch of the household. She went missing on July 1st 2011. She's 12 now and I believe she was taken from the park where I reside. She has thumbs and dual claws upon each thumb. She also gave kisses and jumped into my arms from other surfaces then would just lay down perched in my arms. I miss her dearly... She answers to Lyra (Li-ra)
