Larry Sparks and the Lonesome Ramblers headline

Saturday, April 2nd  "Song of the Mountains" concert at the Lincoln Theatre in Marion, Virginia. 

"The most soulful voice in bluegrass music" is how Larry has been described. He is a legend in bluegrass music performing early in his career with Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys. Larry Sparks has won awards in the bluegrass music field almost too numerous to count. His April 2nd appearance will be his second on the "Song of the Mountains" concert series.

Joining Larry Sparks and the Lonesome Ramblers on Saturday, April 2nd will be Lori Carter Bennett and Ronnie Williams providing some fantastic Carter Family music. This will be their second appearance on "Song of the Mountains" as well.  Bill and Maggie Anderson will also be making their second appearance on the concert series and will also be bringing Carter Family style music as well as some of their original tunes.

Also on "Song of the Mountains" April 2nd will be Baltimore, Maryland based "Bluestone". Their music is very traditional bluegrass with hard driving hoedown numbers as well as tasteful ballads and waltz tunes.

Rounding out the "Song of the Mountains" concert on April 2nd will be the five piece female bluegrass band "Sweet Potato Pie". Their bluegrass music is amazing with fine picking and harmonies.
