Walter Parks & Unlawful Assembly
Walter Parks & Unlawful Assembly
Join us for Troubadour Concerts: Walter Parks & Unlawful Assembly on March 6th.
The Unlawful Assembly is a harmonious mix of race, repertoire, and result. Old-school spirituals, gospel, blues, swamp hollers, and shaped-note European hymns are all presented in a swampy style that borrows from blues, southern rock, and gospel, and occasionally rests on modern electronic loops. Reimagined covers and traditionals include: “Wade in the Water”, “Follow The Drinking Gourd”, “Down By The Riverside”, “Steal Away”, “Old Blind Barnabus”, “Amazing Grace”, “Higher Ground”, and “Early In The Mornin’”. Walter contributes “Georgia Rice” and a co-write, “Shoulder It,” with Stan Lynch (Tom Petty/Heartbreakers).
The opening act will be Ray Bonneville, a Juno Award-winning songwriter and native French Canadian. Known for sparse, evocative storytelling riding on his deep, unique groove, Bonneville’s acclaimed performance style is the product of greasy, percussive electric guitar, smoky, gritty vocals, an unrivaled harmonica tone, and unwavering foot percussion. Bonneville strips his bluesy Americana down to its essentials and steeps it in a humid, Southern vibe, creating a compelling poetry of hard living and deep feeling.
