A confused and shy individual, Charlie Parr plays original and traditional folk and Piedmont-style blues, accompanying himself on National resonator guitars, 12-string guitar and sometimes a banjo. He’s released 6 cd’s, 2 of which are still available, the latest is called “Roustabout” and contains something like 14 tracks of original and traditional folk music recorded in true monophonic sound. 2010 will bring 3 new vinyl releases along with a flurry of touring followed by a fallow period, then a short burst of well-intentioned planning that will ultimately lead to nothing. Charlie Parr has failed at most things in his life. Music seems to have rendered him unemployable and is the only thing he’s ever done with any confidence. A lot of folks have been saying nice things about Charlie, despite the lingering odors and indecipherable comments he makes. It says a lot about folks; they’re hanging in there with him, in spite of himself.

Cam Waters passed on this weekend. Cam was a helluva picker and a good fellow all around and another one that we lost too soon. He will missed by all of us friends and his wife Trudy - rest easy, Cam.
