EXPANSE: A Sci-Fi Cinematic Symphonic Rock Odyssey
Sharon Lia Band’s EXPANSE is a 26-song double album that takes listeners on a powerful, symphonic rock odyssey, enhanced by a full multimedia experience. Over 4 years and 4,000 hours in the making, EXPANSE includes two books and several short story films, immersing fans in a cinematic journey of sound, story, and visuals. Co-created by award-winning frontwoman Sharon Lia and her husband, guitarist Rick Jannotti, this project represents resilience and love. After overcoming a significant health battle, completing EXPANSE became a deeply personal achievement, infusing the album with even greater purpose and meaning.
With standout tracks like 'Find Something To Believe In,' 'Feel It In My Bones,' and the entire album up for Grammy consideration, EXPANSE pushes musical boundaries with its symphonic rock soundscapes and raw emotional storytelling.
