THE SPARKS FAMILY SINGERS

"ROOTS MUSIC" AT ITS FINEST!

About Me

While others are trying to "get back to their roots", The Sparks Family never left. Their music has always been centered around their home, family, and fond memories. The Sparks Family Singers have been performing for over 30 years. They have recorded 12 albums and have performed in at least 16 states. Their music has been recorded by The Center For Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi and is on file at the Mississippi State Archives. The Sparks Family Singers are listed in the Artist Roster of the Mississippi Arts Commission and they are available for performances, demonstrations, and workshops.

How Bluegrass Are You? Your Result: Ultimate Bluegrasser

You've been singing Flatt & Scruggs since you were in diapers. You can pick a guitar, banjo, fiddle, dobro, mandolin, and a bass (and if you can't you should!) Your custom modified camper with the banjo shaped door handles adds a nice touch. Keep it going, Bill would be proud!


You're Purty Bluegrass
You're Somewhat Bluegrass
Ehhh....not Bluegrass at all
