SWEET SOUNDS

Claire Lynch Band

The Grammy-nominated bluegrass artist brings her band to Sparks as part of what may be her last tour with the group. Lynch, a three-time winner of the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Female Vocalist of the Year award, reportedly plans to retire from full-time touring later this year (although she will continue to write new music). She began her music career as co-lead vocalist of the Front Porch String Band during the 1970s and early 1980s, at a time when there weren’t many female-led groups in the bluegrass genre. After the Front Porch String Band retired in 1981, she became an in-demand session singer and songwriter. In 1991, she rejoined the Front Porch String Band for the album Lines and Traces. Lynch released her solo albums Friends for a Lifetime in 1993, Moonlighter in 1995 and Silver and

Gold in 1997 (the latter two albums garnered Grammy nominations). In 2005, she formed the Claire Lynch Band, which has won critical praise for pushing the boundaries of bluegrass music. “Claire Lynch can be claimed by fans of many genres … but the sound she makes with her band truly belongs in the ears of all who love heartfelt music by accomplished artists,” writes Music Matters Magazine. The show begins at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 10, at the Cantina Los Tres Hombres, 926 Victorian Ave., Sparks. Tickets are $20 for Northern Nevada Bluegrass Association members and $25 for non-members. Call 225-9462 or visit www.nnba.org.
