Sparrow Smith & The Resonant Rogues with Sam Kind

About This Event

SPARROW SMITH & THE RESONANT ROGUES Sparrow Smith, a multi-instrumentalist based in Marshall, NC, is well-loved for her evocative songwriting, tasteful banjo playing, epic accordion chops, and striking outfits. A longtime member and leader of multiple bands (most notably Resonant Rogues) with Keith Josiah Smith, her husband and collaborator, Sparrow is stepping out under her own name with a new album of Appalachian originals. Her journey into old time started in her late teens with freight trains and Tommy Jarrell tapes, and her musical taste is also inspired by a lifelong love of dance. When not on tour, Sparrow can be found in the North Carolina mountains where she teaches Women’s Basic Carpentry and is building her own house from scratch. SAM KIND Sam Kind is an up and coming songwriter and instrumentalist known for his blend of old country and blues with melancholic lyrics and unorthodox guitar and banjo compositions. His music is inspired by his experiences living in the American West, his struggles with mental health, and his defiance of modern systems. Influenced by artists like Lead Belly, Johnny Cash, and The Misfits.
