Charlie Parr w/Haley at Turf Club
January 2023 Residency
Charlie Parr’s new album, Last of The Better Days Ahead, is a collection of powerful songs about how one looks back on a life lived, as well as forward on what’s still to come. Its spare production foregrounds Parr’s poetic lyricism, his expressive, gritty voice ringing clear over deft acoustic guitar playing that references folk and blues motifs in Parr’s own exploratory, idiosyncratic style.
In 2018, Haley composed her first full length instrumental album, Pleasureland, and created 6 of the album's 12 accompanying videos. Although she has been creating work for 18 years, the fact that it feels like Haley is just beginning is possibly the most remarkable thing about her artistry. Moving with confidence and vulnerability through genre and category, Haley's music engages the audience regardless of the direction it is coming from.
