Sparky and Rhonda Rucker concert Friday, Nov 4 at the KIMO. This duo has wowed audiences in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia with humor, witticism, and wonderful stories and songs, delivering toe-tapping music spiced with humor, history, and tall tales!

As their numerous CDs will attest, their repertoire consists of blues, Appalachian music, spirituals, and African American and American ballads. One release, Treasures & Tears, was nominated for a WC Handy Award. They have done recordings for National Geographic Society and Scholastic, and their music was also included on the Grammy®-nominated anthology, Singing Through the Hard Times.
