About Charlie Parr
Artist Biography
Minnesota roots musician Charlie Parr is dedicated to the blues and folk traditions of an earlier era. Raised on the music of Charley Patton, Lead Belly, Rev. Gary Davis, and Woody Guthrie, Parr's blue-collar upbringing in the city of Austin, Minnesota and its rural surroundings are reflected in his musical style and lifestyle. Beginning in the 2000s, he issued numerous independent and small-run releases before finding a steady home on the Red House label, where he delivered standout albums like Stumpjumper (2015) and Dog (2017) before an accident temporarily left him unable to play guitar. He returned with an eponymous 2019 album that mixed new songs with updated versions of highlights from his canon. Parr's first release of the next decade was 2021's ruminative Last of the Better Days Ahead, and 2024's Little Sun was recorded live in the studio while a snowstorm brought the city outside to a standstill.
