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. Created by award-winning frontwoman Sharon Lia and her husband, guitarist Rick Jannotti, this project represents resilience and love. After overcoming a string of significant battles, 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. This project offers hope, light, and inspiration to all who experience it.
"Sharon Lia‘s voice and the band’s potent musical backdrop create a big stadium energy reminiscent of Pat Benatar, HEART, Evanescence, and Delain, though it is abundantly clear that Sharon Lia is creating a sound of her own."

The vocals, both powerful and graceful, weave through the instrumental arrangement with a haunting elegance... Between the intense nature of the overdriven guitars, the graceful character of the piano, ambiance-inducing synth-based string textures, and powerful drum grooves, an absorbing soundscape is created, resulting in an expansive sounding track that captures the very essence of the prog and symphonic-styled rock genres brilliantly.
