"Black & Sparrow" back together again in the past couple of years picked up where they left off with new songs and sell out crowds. Their songs have taken on a whole new dimension with the addition of a full band behind their two acoustic guitars (Klyph also plays dobro & slide guitar). First added was Randolph A.
