Charlie seems to have been going down a storm in Australia where is supporting Australian folk legend Paul Kelly.
The www.fasterlouder.com.au blog said
"Nearing the end of a nationwide tour that has seen him visit most regional centres and capital cities, Australian music royalty Paul Kelly dropped into the Canberra Theatre Centre last night to perform a sold-out show.
Along for the journey was Duluth Minnesota’s finest blues/folk export, Charlie Parr. Warming the crowd up for Paul Kelly and his band, the lone man sat on stage with his guitar on his lap, muttering to the crowd. The somewhat indecipherable loner had the packed theatre captivated as he offered his collection of traditional folk and rusty blues.
A man from humble beginnings, Parr’s music was simple yet enchanting. His stories were from memory and imagination, and audience members found themselves being drawn in by his haunting hollow sound."
Charlie plays Electric Avenue, Waterford this Wednesday 27th and Crawdaddy, Dublin on 28th.
