band bios
Darin Starr - piano, guitars
Darin first began plunking out tunes on his parents' living room piano in Oregon at the age of 11. Recently he's been doling out new music left and right, at times even authoring song lyrics. Band credits include Senior Supermonster, Soul Candy and the Traffic Jam, and Wabi Sabi and the Perfect Fifth. Against his better judgement, Darin serves as the band leader for Sketch Eclectic, and he's a pretty good roadie and wine bottle opener, too! Darin is an entrepreneur, having launched an online bodybuilding coaching business. If you're looking to prepare your body for a noteworthy event, check out his page at fivestarrphysique.com.
Denia Kirk - vocals
Denia and Darin met online in 2013, and have been inseparable ever since. Some compelling life experiences have recently nudged Denia to find her songwriting voice, and so have Darin's musical compositions. Theresa Jones is a frequent collaborator with a powerhouse voice and a heart on fire. Having first met on a theatrical stage, Denia and Theresa have been performing together for more than 10 years. Previous band credits include Soul Candy and the Traffic Jam, Dave and Denia, and Wabi Sabi and the Perfect Fifth. For 20 years, Mrs. Kirk has been sharing her love of the arts with elementary students in the Knoxville area - currently leading Webb Lower School's Art and Theatre Workshop programs. You might find Denia directing an occasional play, adapting scripts for children's shows, producing a vintage radio style podcast, or creating visual art.
