MOUNTAIN SPROUT @ The Mission with special guest Pat Kay!
Mountain Sprout is a highly energetic hillbilly music machine, spitting original tunes and blowing minds with whitty lyrics and face melting musicianship. The Sprouts are a full-time working band and play shows all year round for anyone who will listen. Whether it’s Grayson VanSickle playing his machine gun banjo, singing out the novel of our lives or guitarist Adam Waggs, who yanks up the melody up by the ear and keeps you kickin’. With a smile on his face, Daniel Redmond pulls out cannon fire notes pounding the stand-up, dog house bass, and Blayne Thiebaud gives the crowd a spectacular show; burnin’ rosin and bendin’ air, exploding the fiddle while bursting into flames. Together, they are MOUNTAIN SPROUT.
Playing around 250 shows a year, including music festivals, concert halls and backwood hole in the walls; they have performed in venues large and small. From opening up for national icons Willie Nelson and Leonn Russel, to performing with jam band titans such as Yonder Mountain String Band and Wide Spread Panic, you can find them hanging out with home grown legends like Split Lip Rayfield, Randy Crouch and countless other amazing musicians. Always opening up another beer or a sheltered mind at the local and not-so-local bars, MOUNTAIN SPROUT is truly a crowd favorite.
After forming several renditions, the band made a final pact in ’06. Since then MOUNTAIN SPROUT has released multiple recordings preceded by the infamous “Pornobilly”(2005) that earned a place in everyones heart. Then officially releasing their original debut album “One More for the Ditch”(2007), followed by a collection of traditional tunes entitled “Fambilly Hour”(2008), and tapped from the source with another CD of original songs called “Into the Sun”(2009). There latest smash hit album for the collection is “Habits to Feed”(2010).
PAT KAY
A familiar part of The Mission family, Pat performs what he preaches, staying true to his passion, continually evolving as one of Mid-Missouri’s musical gems. Originals and his twist on Americana covers with an array of instrumentation, including kazoo, brought to you with wit and charm. Heading regional bands such as The Kay Brothers, The Hatrick and The Hipnecks, the stage is his playground. If you haven’t seen Pat’s solo show in a while, this is a great opportunity to see what’s new with Mr. Kay!
