For over 40 years, Graham Parker has been slinging his signature sound, earning a spot in the pantheon of influential rock ‘n’ roll figures. Since his early days with The Rumour, Parker has coupled punk’s energy with his deeply rooted love of American R&B, country, and soul music. Graham Parker and The Rumour were formed in the summer of 1975. Over the next five years they released six albums, including the fiery, soul-infused rock albums Howlin’ Wind and Heat Treatment, climbing the UK charts with such hits as “Hold Back The Night”, and becoming one of Britain’s top live acts, selling out concerts on their seemingly endless world tours. After the band disbanded in 1980, Parker went on to forge a solo career setting a remarkable standard of excellence and consistency over eighteen studio albums, live cut compositions, and a rigorous touring schedule. From Deepcut To Nowhere (2001), voted one of the ten best albums of the year by Sound & Vision magazine, to his recent critically acclaimed release, Cloud Symbol (2018), the feisty singer-songwriter has kept his razor sharp edge. Experience the consummate soul man, live at the Emelin.
