He went on to form his own band in 1969 – The Lonesome Ramblers. Sparks has recorded and toured as a solo artist for over four decades, releasing over 50 albums and delighting fans with his soulful vocals and unparalleled musicianship. This concert is free and open to the public. Tickets are not required.

The festival continues on Saturday night, March 4 at 7 p.m. at Swasey Chapel, with a performance by bluegrass legend Sam Bush. Tickets are free to Denison students, faculty, and staff.
