An all-star acoustic aggregation of world music, The Sparrow Quartet
explores the old-time folk and bluegrass traditions of Appalachia,
delves into jazz, spirituals, and gospel, and serves up "Sino-American
folk songs" written in Mandarin by captivating lead singer and banjoist
Abigail Washburn. The band is rounded out by eight-time Grammy-winning
banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck, who has re-invented his chosen
instrument over the course of a genre-spanning, 30-year career;
fiddler Casey Driessen, one of the fastest-rising stars on the bluegrass
circuit; and eclectic singer-cellist Ben Sollee, whose impressive
three-finger plucking style covers both Prince and Tears for Fears
with a classical bent.
