Rhett Miller told Sounds Country - I really love Telegraph Canyon, from Fort Worth. Their new record is great, really big, very cool. I watched them sound check the other day and they were like “We’re getting some feedback from the tiny dog piano”, like its a completely normal instrument that everyone has. A great big orchestrated adventurous sound.”

"A bleakly invigorating collection of songscapes that veers off the glib rails of genre-fication; folk-rock, dark folk, Southern gothic and alt-folk aren’t big enough tents to contain these proceedings." - Modern Luxury Dallas

Telegraph Canyon In Modern Luxury Dallas

If you missed it, Telegraph Canyon was featured in the October issue of Modern Luxury Dallas.

"A bleakly invigorating collection of songscapes that veers off the glib rails of genre-fication; folk-rock, dark folk, Southern gothic and alt-folk aren’t big enough tents to contain these proceedings."

"Urgent, folky and insistent—Telegraph Canyon’s new album doesn’t hold back."  

"The Tide and The Current, an outing characterized by sudden musical mood swings, wide open spaces, arrangements that bounce from intimate to wall-of-sound, and enigmatic introspection."

Check out the full article below.

A Folk & Spune Thanksgiving

One spring day in 1979, a young Charlie Parr made his way down to East Side Lake in Austin, Minnesota carrying a Johnson 9.9 outboard motor and half of a gallon of gas. His pockets were stuffed with stolen cans of Blatz. The motor did him no good at the lake since he didn’t have a boat, but he was lucky and traded it to a truck driver at a nearby filling station for a beat up Gibson 12-string guitar. He kept the gas. A confused and shy individual, Charlie Parr plays original and traditional folk and rural-style blues, accompanying himself on National resonator guitars, 12-string guitar and a fretless banjo. Parr has failed at most things in his life. Music seems to have rendered him unemployable and is the only thing he’s ever done with any confidence. A lot of folks have been saying nice things about Charlie, despite the lingering odors and indecipherable comments he makes. It says a lot about folks; they’re hanging in there with him, in spite of himself.

Charlie Parr will grace us with another appearance headlining the Thanksgiving edition of our Folk & Spune series on Thursday, November 19th. The show will be held again in the beautiful performance space and listening room known as The Hydrant in Denton. It promises to be a spectacular evening of music! Doug Burr will perform new songs from his upcoming full length release (slated for Spring of next year) to a public audience for the first time. The stellar Seryn will kick things off. Doors open at 8pm, but arrive early to get a good seat. Did we mention cover is only $6?
