Wildly original, multiple award winning, and totally mesmerizing, Minton Sparks is a performer in a league of her own. Her unique blend of literary spoken word performances is steeped in Southern traditions and floated over a heady brew of live acoustic music, creating magical worlds into which she draws her audiences. It’s hard to adequately explain her magnetic appeal with mere words, though singer/songwriter and hometown rocker Marshall Chapman may have come close. “Imagine, if you will, Flannery O’Connor and the Ghost of Hank Williams having an affair that results in an illegitimate child.” Live is the best way to experience her and we’re thrilled to have her with us at ArtemisFest this years
