Kyle Sparkman and Pressing Strings

Annapolis-based trio Pressing Strings fuses instinct, imagination, and inspiration in their music. Influenced by legends like Bob Marley, Bill Withers, and contemporary artists like Ben Harper.

Philadelphia-born Kyle Sparkman delivers groovy indie funk with prophetic lyrics and jazz-tinged sounds, known for "Funk215," taken to space by astronaut Dr. Chris Boshuizen. Praised by Music Crowns as "one of the funkiest fresh talents," his debut album "IRRATIONAL ACTORS" features contributions from 14 musicians across four studios. Described as a blend of Mac Demarco, John Frusciante, and disco, Kyle's music is "instantly groovy."
