Once or twice a year one of our favorite Midwestern musicians graces the stage at the Filling Station in Bozeman. Who may you ask, Charlie Parr. I have known Charlie Parr since 2006 when I met him at a Halloween party in the small town of Silver Creek, Minnesota. Charlie and our good friend Mikkel Beckman opened for local favorites Forty Watt Bulb. Forty Watt Bulb has since dissolved into legendary status in the local scene and plays very random shows here and there.
Charlie has persisted on making music his life and does it very well. He plays a National resonator guitar in the finger picking Piedmont blues style. He also plays a fretless open backed banjo. He has released thirteen albums to date which keep on getting better like a fine wine, although cheap wine is more his style.
He will be joined by Jack Klatt, Barabara Jean and Tales From Ghost Town this coming Saturday. Tickets are still available at Cactus Records so get them while you can because it will sell out, and always does. This is one not to be missed by any means!!! I hope to see you there dancing and having a merry old time!!!
Here is a link to the last show he played in Bozeman.
Check it out!
