Larry Sparks 7:30 (bluegrass) [ back ] At his age, some artists would probably be content to take the triumph of two consecutive years of top industry awards as the equivalent of a gold watch and chain, but that’s not Larry Sparks’ style. Sparks was named the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Male Vocalist of the Year in 2004. He took that honor again in 2005, as well as both Album of the Year and Recorded Event of the Year honors for the star-studded “40.” As one rising young bluegrass artist put it recently, “if the IBMA were to give an award for just being ‘The Man,’ Larry Sparks would win it every time.”
