Larry Sparks

Larry Sparks played guitar with the Stanley Brothers and made his recording debut in 1965. He spent three years as lead vocalist with Ralph Stanley & the Clinch Mountain Boys after Carter Stanley's death in 1966.

Around 1970, Sparks formed his own band, the Lonesome Ramblers, and it is a rare bluegrass festival or concert series that hasn't played host to Sparks multiple times in the years since.

Numerous younger bluegrass players have passed through the ranks or appeared on Sparks' many recordings, Ricky Skaggs and fiddler Stuart Duncan being two of the best-known examples.
