- "What really stands out for me are their voices, though. Great harmonies on great original melodies, with the kind of clear vocal style that reminds me of Bobby Fuller. Very memorable tunes." --CBS News

From their earliest released recordings in 1990, the Sprague Brothers have forged a clear and steady path; as leader Frank Lee Sprague says, "Influenced by none, inspired by many." With roots in their hometown of Wichita Falls, Texas, the Sprague Brothers travel the musical map, fusing their love for the music of fellow Texans Buddy Holly and Bobby Fuller with a touch of surf here and a touch of Merseybeat there, all blended into a superb and remarkable brand of rock 'n' roll that is uniquely Sprague. From Sun Records-style rockabilly to Everly Brothers-style ballads to dazzling instrumentals with a dollop of Texas swing, the Sprague Brothers have wowed critics for Rolling Stone, Playboy, The Washington Post, The New Yorker, and many other magazines and newspapers.
Omar & the Stringpoppers and the Vargas Brothers will also be performing.
