| November 4, 2007: Sparky & Rhonda Rucker | ||
|
Sparky and Rhonda Rucker, a husband and wife duo from Tennessee, return after two years to entertain us with captivating songs and stories from America's historical past. Sparky has been performing for over forty years and is internationally recognized as a leading folklorist, musician, historian, storyteller, and author. On vocals, guitar, and banjo, he has appeared alongside the likes of Pete Seeger and Utah Phillips, and has provided award-winning music and narration for many radio and television programs. Joining Sparky almost twenty years ago, Rhonda's vocal and keyboard harmonies blend perfectly to round out the sound. But where she especially shines is on the harmonica, pulling out melodies in a way that masterfully transforms it into a seemingly luscious contralto voice. Their engaging back-and-forth rapport together with their extensive knowledge and repertoire of American music - railroad songs, Appalachian music, old time blues, slave songs, Civil War music, gospel, cowboy music, ballads, and original compositions - has never failed to captivate Woods Hole audiences.
