Charlie Parr
Guitarist and songwriter Charlie Parr has announced he'll bring his Little Sun tour to The Glad Cafe on Wednesday 11th September!
About Charlie Parr
In the music of Charlie Parr, there is a sincere conviction and earnest drive to create.
The Minnesota-born guitarist, songwriter, and interpreter of traditional music has released 19 albums over two decades and has been known to perform up to 275 shows a year.
Parr is a folk troubadour in the truest sense: taking to the road between shows, writing and rewriting songs as he plays, fueled by a belief that music is eternal and cannot be claimed or adequately explained.
The bluesman poet pulls closely from the sights and sounds around him, his lyrical craftsmanship built by his influences. The sounds from his working-class upbringing—including Folkways legends such as Lead Belly and Woody Guthrie—imbue Parr’s music with stylistic echoes of blues and folk icons of decades past.
