Charlie Parr

It’s that time of the year again, Charlie Parr will be doing his January 2025 Residency at the Turf Club, in St Paul.

We recently saw Parr with Trampled By Turtles at the Armory in Nov 2022 and wrote, “Charlie Parr opened up with his weathered steel guitar and friend, Mick, playing what Parr called: “The washing machine.” Even with no band Parr had no trouble filling the cavernous space of the Armory with an earthy voice that rose to all three levels and into the rafters of the venue. Born in Austin, MN and now residing in Duluth, Parr’s musical style of folk and blues seems to be from another era. Still, he instantly connected with the sold out crowd with a generous set of 12 songs ranging from a career that has produced 16 albums…”

Jon Edwards to open.

rosie
with Jillian Rae, bathtub cig and Bryn Battani
at 7th St Entry

Minneapolis’ rosie is headlining the 7th St Entry, in Minneapolis, on January 8, 2025.

Please note that this is a different artist than the New York singer-songwriter, ROSIE, who we saw in June 2023 and just recently released What Scares Me the Most on November 1st via Arista Records.

Jillian Rae, bathtub cig, and Bryn Battani to open.

We saw Bryn Battani in Aug 2024 and wrote, “Bryn Battani said she is a recent transplant from Texas, and that certainly they don’t have these kind of events in Austin. She was also the only artist to switch over to keys, from acoustic guitar.”
