Bluegrass Fiddling with Blaine Sprouse, Part 1
 
Blaine Sprouse was one of bluegrass music’s premier fiddlers in the 1970s and ‘80s. Through gigs with Bill Monroe, Jimmy Martin, the Osborne Brothers, and many others, as well as a series of influential albums for Rounder Records, he proved he was the heir to Kenny Baker’s formidable legacy. After taking a break from the music business to pursue a career as a lawyer, Blaine recently returned to full-time music making, moved to Northern California, and has been playing with Peter Rowan and others. He and Brittany get started by playing “Angeline the Baker” and Blaine talks about getting his start on the fiddle growing up in West Virginia, meeting Kenny Baker as a teenager, playing with Bill Monroe, etc.
