Long ago in 2014, former Mercury writer Rose Finn wrote: "It's hard to believe that country blues guitarist Charlie Parr is a modern-day musician from Duluth, Minnesota, but it's certainly encouraging that musicians like him still exist. The accomplished guitarist (and doppelganger for Cheech) is seemingly unaffected by our image-driven musical age, his weapons of choice being a resonator guitar, an acoustic 12-string, a fretless banjo, and a husky mid-range voice that complements his plucking." He will return to Portland with his poetic, complex musical stories with support from local experimental guitarist Marisa Anderson.
