About this concert
Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Charlie Parr is a Minnesota-based roots musician whose organic style is deeply tied to the blues and folk traditions of an earlier era. Raised on the music of Charley Patton, Lead Belly, Rev. Gary Davis, and Woody Guthrie, Parr's blue-collar upbringing in the city of Austin, Minnesota (home of Hormel Foods and SPAM) and its rural surroundings are reflected in his life and musical styles. Throughout the 2000s, he toured constantly and released numerous albums either independently or on small labels. In the latter part of the decade, he became a surprise success in Australia when one of his songs was used in a popular commercial. In the 2010s, Parr found a steady home on the Red House label and delivered standout albums like Stumpjumper (2015) and Dog (2017) before an accident temporarily left him unable to play guitar. Following his recovery, he returned with an eponymous 2019 album that mixed new songs with updated versions of highlights from his canon.

I want to be Charlie Parr when I grow up. Need I say more?
PS: wish he wasn't pressed on timing to let the following show come on.
PS2: room is limited and the floor at Mercury Lounge is all at the same level, so if you're short, either get there early to save a spot up front or close your eyes and remember it's sound you came for.

Charlie Parr Biography
Charlie Parr is an incorruptible outsider who writes novelistic, multi-layered stories that shine a kaleidoscopic light on defiant, unseen characters thriving in the shadows all around us. Parr has a new record with only his name on it, and it isn’t shiny and perfect and commercial and catchy. It’s him. It’s pure Charlie Parr and that’s enough. He hasn’t moved to LA or Nashville; he’s stayed in the cold grey north of Minnesota, because that’s his home.
