Charlie Parr - Glee Club Nottingham - Sun 2 Jun
CHARLIE PARR - UK TOUR - SUN 2 JUNE
Many people play roots music, but few modern musicians live those roots like Minnesota's Charlie Parr. You can experience this for yourselves at Glee Club Nottingham, on Sunday 2nd June 2013.
Recording since the earliest days of the 21st century, Parr's heartfelt and plaintive original folk blues and traditional spirituals don't strive for authenticity: they are authentic. Charlie's is the music of a self-taught guitarist and banjo player who grew up without a TV but with his dad's recordings of America's musical founding fathers, including Charley Patton and Lightnin' Hopkins, Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly.
Parr’s forthcoming album, Barnswallow will be his eleventh studio release. Most of his recordings, including Roustabout, Jubilee, Rooster, King Earl, 1922 and Criminals and Sinners eschew typical studio settings. Parr's 2011 album of traditional songs, Keep Your Hands on the Plow featured Duluth, Minnesota locals including Charlie's wife, Emily Parr; old-time banjo/fiddle band Four Mile Portage; and Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker of the renowned alternative rock band Low.
