It’d be easy to say that The Parson Red Heads are a classic rock band. It’d be even easier to say that they’re a Portland indie-folk band. This band can excel in separate categories through well-placed songwriting that translates their music into a storyteller platform. These stories are told with their lyrics as well as their instruments. Portland music fans tend to get sensitive when they hear the word jam so I’ll say that their songs often climax in orchestrated instrumental arrangements that do not stray way from the original idea. The Parson Red Heads have been giving us fresh rock and roll with a vintage/psychedelic feel for several years and are following up the successes of their last album with a new LP, Orb Weaver. Playing alongside PRH will be Alialujah Choir and Mimicking Birds. – Colin Hudson
