Sprout took root in Saginaw, MI over 10 years ago. With the release of their new album, “When the Silence Breaks,” they are branching out, planting their musical seeds in the hearts of new fans all across the country.
Sprout’s collective love for and knowledge of music gives them the ability to move cohesively through their jams, flowing like water. Join that with the energy created between Sprout and the family (fans) at live shows and you have all the parts needed to make this band of talented and dedicated musicians grow into the musical giants they are destined to become.
With many opportunities to see this budding band over the summer while they are on their west coast tour, don’t miss your chance to join the Sprout family.
So please, come out, see Sprout, and have fun.
