Sprig of That is a tabla, fiddle, and guitar trio playing a hearty Midwest-raised and globally inspired acoustic stew. Drawing inspiration from the work of cross-genre pioneers like Zakir Hussain, Chris Thile, and Béla Fleck, they play music that is at once both steeped in tradition(s) and thoroughly modern. Though this combination of instruments might seem unexpected at first glance, Sprig has left an immediate and lasting impression on all who have heard and seen them.

In February 2023, they released bloom, their full-length, all-original debut album, produced by Wes Corbett (Sam Bush Band, Joy Kill Sorrow) and engineered/mixed by Dave Sinko (Punch Brothers, Béla Fleck, Edgar Meyer). Recorded at Nashville’s legendary Sound Emporium studios over the course of a week in December 2021, the record is a collaboration in every sense of the word: equal part Sprig’s compelling compositions and dynamic playing, Corbett’s vision and ear for detail, and Sinko’s unparalleled ability to capture magic in a room. Bloom also sees friend and longtime Sprig collaborator Olivia Dierks (The OK Factor) as a guest on multiple tracks, including lead single “This Time, Last Week.”

Patrick Dethlefs songwriting crests like a humble Townes Van Zandt, innocent of his own haunting melodies and lyricism. Dethlefs music offers folk Americana with effortless sincerity at a time when many acts strive purposefully to revive the stripped-down feel of a musical history long past.
Dethlefs finds poetry in the memories and that slight pain in the laugh lines. - Daytrotter
