   About The Parsonage
Named in honour of the Grievous Angel, Mr Gram Parsons, The Parsonage is a group of around 40 Glasgow based singers which was formed at the beginning of 2006 by Janis F. Murray. We are a non-religious, mixed sex, varied of age, determinedly independent and self defining organic group. Inspiration comes from the raw, storytelling simplicity of the folk, country and blues traditions. Our first EP, 'This Ain't No Lovey Dovey' was released December 2007 on Glasgow label OSScarr Records and is available at the OSCarr webiste http://www.optimo.co.uk. 2007 and 2008 were busy fun. Hilarious times with backing vocals for Rod Stewart at Hampden, assissting in studio for Echo and The Bunnymen's forthcoming new album, summertime festivals (we had a crowd surfer-this must be a first in the world of choir) and wintertime singing with sad songs a plenty. The dark nights of 2008 were devoted to accumulating a repertoire of Gram Parsons and Hank Williams songs followed by presentation of our very own Gram Parsons and Hank Williams tribute days. It's now 2009, we're almost 3, and getting ready with excitement to record our first album of Hank and Gram material. Welcome to our Parsonage thing, we hope you like the way that we sing.

Hello, after an unfortunate hiatus, the reasons for which are probably best not gone into here, we finally have some new music on the AUK MySpace site. For your listening pleasure this month we offer Nathan Oliver, Conrad Ford, the irrepressible Todd Snider and the delightful Beccy Owen. Don't forget too, for those of you within striking distance of Leicester, Electric Dustbowl 2 on 19 September.

I Draw Slow





Jun 18 2009 1:53 PM

Hi The Parsonage, I Draw Slow are playing The Cobblestone, Smithfield in Dublin on Wednesday 24th June, supported by the amazing Thomas Kitt. Doors are at 8.30 and admission is €10, a small price to pay to see the citys two premier acoustic acts don't you agree? On the off chance you disagree, come down on wednesday next to the Cobblestone, Smithfield Dublin and we'd be happy to discuss it.
