An extra Bluegrass show has been added to the winter series of Bluegrass music at the American Legion in Hughesville making this the next performance. Just confirmed, it will be International Bluegrass Music Association’s (IBMA), two times Male Vocalist of the Year, Larry Sparks and his band.
Larry Sparks’ music has become known to audiences beyond the hardest of the Bluegrass hard-core. Bluegrass music is now almost 60 years old, and it has become clear that within the music there are only a small handful of major stylists. Larry Sparks is one of the few who has created a style while remaining true to the best traditions of bluegrass.
A musician by the time he started high school, Larry Sparks stepped into the history books and into the heart of the music when he began making appearances as the legendary Stanley Brothers lead guitarist before graduation. With the death of Carter Stanley in 1966, Sparks became Ralph Stanley’s right-hand man, moving into the Clinch Mountain Boys’. Larry Sparks has over 30 records and CD’s to date.
As a stellar performer, the spotlight is always where it needs to be—on the quiet power of Larry Sparks, guitarist and master singer.
Tickets are $15.00 per person sold at the door. Advanced tickets are recommended. Food will be served beginning at noon for a separate price.
For more information and tickets call 301-737-3004 or for directions go to the website at www.americanlegionbluegrass.com.
Jay Armsworthy's Bluegrass on the Bay Show can be heard on radioSOMD on Wednesday at 6pm and Saturday at 1pm.
