Graham Parker has worked with guitarist Brinsley Schwarz since 1975 when they first met and rehearsed together in a band that became known as Graham Parker and The Rumour. Since then, Brinsley Schwarz has often accompanied Parker on post-Rumour records and tours and recently joined him onstage as a duo playing songs from throughout Parker’s career.
Expect songs from Graham Parker’s early albums with The Rumour, his solo career, and his most recent tunes from two Rumour reunion albums, Three Chords Good and Mystery Glue.
In Spain, Norway, and the UK, where a recent triumphant tour ended in a sold out Union Chapel show, the music the duo performed was varied, creative, and exciting in equal measure, along with a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of humor from Graham Parker as he reinvents his prodigious catalog.
