Sparky and Rhonda Rucker

From the venue:

This month: Sparky and Rhonda Rucker. The Ruckers perform throughout the U.S. as well as overseas, singing songs and telling stories from the American folk tradition. Their music includes a variety of old-time blues, slave songs, Appalachian music, spirituals, ballads, work songs, Civil War music, railroad songs, and a few of their own original compositions. Sparky Rucker has been performing over forty years and is internationally recognized as a leading folklorist, musician, historian, storyteller, and author. Rhonda Rucker is a musician, children’s author, storyteller, and songwriter. Sparky and Rhonda are sure to deliver an uplifting presentation of toe-tapping music spiced with humor, history, and tall tales. They take their audience on an educational and emotional journey that ranges from poignant stories of slavery and war to an amusing rendition of a Brer Rabbit tale or their witty commentaries on current events.
