Sparks
The legendary art-pop duo are back with new music!
Why see Sparks?
This Stage Ain't Big Enough For The Two Of Them
Eclectic, electric, eccentric, there are many words that attempt to capture the magic of Sparks, but nothing compares to experiencing them live. Don't miss the iconic American pop-rock duo, formed by brothers Ron and Russell Mael, as they hit the road once again. They'll be doing what they do best, and you're invited!
Known for their theatrical style and witty lyrical flights of fancy, Sparks first hit the charts back in 1974 with the whirlwind falsetto of 'This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both of Us' and have been honing their craft ever since. Through constant artistic re-invention and boundary-pushing ambition, they remain one of the most intriguing and influential bands of their generation.

Wonderful
I thought Sparks were incredible, seen them before so not suprised by the quality of the show. Such a great set list, so energetically performed. Great backing band, ðŸ‘.

Amazing experience
One of the best times I’ve had at the Keswick. You can tell that they truly enjoy performing and it becomes joyful for everyone. How they still have so much energy I don’t know but it was contagious and the rest of the band was so tight it was incredible. I only got into Sparks after watching the Edgar Wright documentary a few months ago and I only know their hits. Yet I knew most of the set list because they played their hits. They have 28 albums but they found the songs I love. They are treasures. ... Read more

Sparks: a Timeless Lovefest
As Ron Mael said from the stage, while he and Russel basked in the extended applause after the last song of the night, "this is a venue." It was to mark the difference between playing the Disney Concert Hall and the Lincoln Theater: the intimacy of the smaller 'venue,' with fans who have followed the band over their 50+ year career, was what made it possible for Sparks to do what they do so well: defy all expectations, from one song to the next, with consistently original music. While most modern music can be conveniently placed in one category or another, you will never be able to put Sparks in a box, and there is much joy--and laughter--to be had in this. I could tell you more about how tight the band was, of Russell's superb vocal gymnastics, even Ron's dancing and the clarity of the house mix, but instead I'll say this: after the show, I spoke with a 65 year old man who flew from Ohio for the show. He told me that at age 12, he decided "Sparks is my band." We all felt that way. ... Read more
