Sprig of That

Sprig of That is a tabla, fiddle, and guitar trio drawing inspiration from the work of cross-genre pioneers like Zakir Hussain, Chris Thile, and Béla Fleck to play music that is both steeped in tradition(s) and thoroughly modern. In early 2023, they’ll be releasing bloom, their full-length, all- original debut album, produced by Wes Corbett (Sam Bush Band, Joy Kill Sorrow) and engineered/mixed by Dave Sinko (Punch Brothers, Béla Fleck, Edgar Meyer) recorded at Nashville’s legendary Sound Emporium studios over the course of a week in December 2021. Formed in Minneapolis, MN in 2018, the group has spent the last five years making a name for themselves across the country: playing historic venues like Minneapolis’ Cedar Cultural Center and NYC’s Rockwood Music Hall, sharing the stage with artists like Charlie Parr and Emilia Amper, and collaborating with organizations like Carnegie Hall and Minnesota Public Radio to give workshops at schools across the country. In 2021, they released “Eight Threads,” a cross- genre collaboration comprising 8 compositions written for the trio by eight very different Twin Cities-based music makers.

“The trio…honors melody as much as it does the shifting rhythms and deep harmonic structures they’re adept at creating.” – Live for Live Music

“Sprig of That is one of the most flexible and skilled bands I have had the pleasure of working with as a producer. The sonic ecosystem they’ve created with their unique instrumentation is at once as surprising as it is gorgeous.” – Wes Corbett (Sam Bush Band, Molly Tuttle, Joy Kill Sorrow)
