The Sparrow Quartet is a five-song EP released by Nettwerk on 29 May 2006, the first record by the group Abigail Washburn formed in 2005 with Béla Fleck on banjo, Casey Driessen on fiddle and Ben Sollee on cello, alongside her own clawhammer banjo and singing. The songs are “Fall on My Knees,” “Everybody Does It Now,” “Keys to the Kingdom,” a medley of “Santa Anna’s Retreat” and “Kitchen Gal,” and “His Eye Is on the Sparrow.”

The EP came between Washburn’s first solo album, Song of the Traveling Daughter (Nettwerk, 2005), which Fleck produced and on which Sollee played, and the quartet’s full-length Abigail Washburn & the Sparrow Quartet, released by Nettwerk on 20 May 2008. None of the EP’s five songs is on the later album.
