Sprig of That is a Twin-cities based folk-fusion trio that combines vibrant Americana, Western classical virtuosity, and world rhythmic textures to form a surprisingly natural acoustic blend. Violinist Isabel Dammann and guitarist Ilan Blanck met at Lawrence University, where they had many opportunities to work together. They met tabla player Krissy Bergmark through a mutual friend and Lawrentian, and when Isabel and Ilan both moved to the Twin Cities, the three decided to collaborate.
Formed in Minneapolis, MN in early 2018, Sprig of That has been building an audience in the region by performing at staple Twin Cities venues like the Cedar Cultural Center, Ice House, The Warming House, and Black Dog cafe, where they curated a monthly collaborative residency. They have also led workshops at universities and performing arts schools, including Lawrence University, St. Cloud State, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, and Saint Paul Conservatory of Performing Arts. Sprig of That's first album, released in February of 2019 at The Hook and Ladder Theater, presents fresh arrangements of folk favorites along with original music by each of the band members. The covers ("I've Endured" by Ola Belle Reed and traditional Old-Time standard "Cluck Old Hen") showcase the convergence of the traditional and contemporary, while the original works represent the wide and varied experiences, personalities, and styles of each of the band members.
Sprig of That has been featured on The Current's "Friday Five," a list of Twin Cities music videos of the week, and on Jazz 88's "String Theory" program with Kevin Barnes. In June 2019, they will participate in Carnegie Hall's Audience Engagement Intensive. You can find them at www.sprigofthat.com, and on Facebook and Instagram.
