Bio
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. 2007-2009 were busy and fun. Hilarious times performing in a varied array of venues - including backing vocals for Rod Stewart at Hampden, many summertime festivals (we had a crowd surfer - this must be a first in the world of choir!?), various artist collaborations and wintertime singing with sad songs a plenty. It's now 2010 and we're just 4 years old. We have enjoyed over 50 performances including the main stage at T In The Park. Of late we have been working on the songs of Hank Williams and Gram Parsons. Demo versions of a selection of these and other pieces of work can be heard here on our music player. Welcome to our Parsonage thing, we hope you like the way that we sing. -
