Every now and again we stumble upon an artist through a song in a film, TV series or even an advertisement. In the case of Minnesota’s Charlie Parr, it is the last of the three. Remember that ad for a certain telephone telecommunications company that had some hip dude fold up his apartment? Well, the song in that ad was Parr’s ‘1922 Blues’. Soon enough the songman was supporting Paul Kelly and charming his way onto the stage of The Falls, Sunset Sounds, Southbound and Wave Rock. Several of his songs would also be included in the soundtrack to the 2010 Australian film, Red Hill. Influenced by the likes of Charlie Patton, Bukka White and Revered Gary Davis, Parr’s east coast blues style makes the 12-string guitar and banjo sing. The tour supports his latest release, 2013’s Barnswallow, but if you’re a fan you may also want to check out Charlie Parr: Last Night I Dreamed I Saw Paul Bunyan. Produced by Chaperone, in conjunction with The Meeting Team and Les Sangliers Associatifs, Last Night… is a unique multimedia package featuring a DVD of the film Meeting Charlie Parr, a vinyl LP containing 40-odd minutes of material recorded during the film production and an mp3 download card for the nine tracks.

The venerable Duluth folk musician Charlie Parr is set to release a distinctive new album on January 28, Hollandale, filled with unvarnished instrumental songs inspired by early 20th Century folk blues. The new collection, Parr's 12th full-length album, was engineered specifically for vinyl, and will be released by Duluth's own Chaperone Records.

Parr also had the opportunity of working with Low's Alan Sparhawk on the new record, and he has graciously shared a lovely new song from the record, "Barn Swallows At Twilight" that features the duo's deft collaboration.

"The songs will never come out that way again, but that's alright," Parr says about the improvisational heart of his new material. "They'll come out some other way, and that's what I love about this style of music. Without lyrics occupying the songs, the (challenge) was to create something that makes sense. I was more relaxed recording than ever before."

The sprightly music featured on Hollandale is driven forward by Parr's unique tunings on his Resonator and banjo, as the masterful musician crafts evocative story-lines in his songs even without singing a word. The stark, spacious wonder of Parr's surroundings color his new material, bringing his listeners with him to Duluth and beyond through his studied, expressive sounds.
