Sparrow Records

... are different.

Um, so but we did the first album with a record company called Sparrow Records.

Mm-hmm.

And they were based out of California at the time.

I would probably call that kind of rock elements with some jazz and whatnot.

And my label got picked up by Sparrow Records for a number of years.

And in the midst of all that, I came upon a story, a book that was called The Tale of Three Trees that was written by Angela L.

Hunt.

Yeah.

In that performance, the guy who eventually would sign us to Sparrow records was there at that show.

Okay.

That's, that's how we actually got hooked up with Sparrow records was, Chris York, who was our A&I guy, he saw us there at the thing and gave us a showcase with Sparrow Records and all that.

We ended up signing with them and got to do the Kaleidoscope record.

Sparrow's an interesting thing, just because it was so...

I feel like Earthsuit didn't sound like Sparrow as Sparrow was known.

I feel like they had a brief period where they were kind of trying to steer into some more modern music, some louder, harder music, and to kind of be more of the label of the youth, maybe like they'd been in the 70s or something.

And then if you heard anything very acoustical, that was kind of me pausing, finding my faith.

And I think around the time I met Aaron... who we're talking to today, but also like before I started a really great, um, kind of friendship with a guy named Chris York, who, uh, his dad, Peter York was, um, Sparrow Records he was like real high up at Sparrow Records and then Chris was his son who kind of spun off with this label called Credential if you remember that

yeah

because that was Edison Glass was I think he was their A&R guy I think as well
