Bio / Background
Growing up on a commune in a castle in Scotland taught modern day troubadour Esther Sparks that there is no distinction between life and art. Surrounded by a gigantic extended family that included her grandparents and great-grandparents, uncles and aunts amid a close-knit community that peaked at nearly 150 people, she learned at a young age that music was simply part of life.
She says, “Our home was always filled with music- there were five pianos and hundreds of guys with guitars playing folk music.” She grew up listening to homegrown music, performed live by the many musicians, some just passing through, and recordings of legends such as Joan Baez and Cat Stevens. Her early life was so drenched in song that she actually told her elementary school teacher that Bob Dylan lived at her house.
Sparks was encouraged by all to pursue the muse and by her early teens she was lending her stunning voice to a wide range of styles.

Different, and special...oandwkc wrote on January 24, 2008
Esther Sparks has much to say, and gives voice to her thoughts in a rich and rewarding CD that sent me searching for more. Her song and video, Peace, has made the rounds on YouTube and plays on the bitter irony and disconnection of word and deed in regard to the Iraq war. But Sparks' CD is much more than topical political protest. She explores themes of love, relationship, family and faith, and kindles much light in the surrounding darkness.
