Hailing from a holler near the artistic hotbed of Marshall, NC, Sparrow Smith weaves traditional instruments with observational poetry, dyed with the vivid natural pigments of her imagination, into music your bones can wear. 

Sparrow Smith is a multi-instrumentalist based in Western North Carolina, celebrated for her creative banjo playing, epic accordion skills, and unmistakable stage presence. Best known for her work with Resonant Rogues alongside her husband and longtime collaborator Keith Josiah Smith, Sparrow has spent years innovating psych folk styles with traditional instruments through a wide range of musical projects.

 Her journey into Appalachian old time started in her late teens with freight train travels and Tommy Jarrell tapes, and her musical taste is also inspired by a lifelong love of dance. When not on tour, Sparrow can be found in the North Carolina mountains where she teaches Women’s Basic Carpentry and built her own house from scratch.
