Tracy McNeil + Dan Parsons Together for BayFM Benefit

Much loved-performers Tracy McNeil and Dan Parsons will share the Picture House Stage to bring you a night of Indie Americana wrapped-up in folk rock. Also on the bill is up-and-coming talent Naomi Connell. This is a one-night gig to help raise vital funds for the shire’s one and only community radio station.

TRACY McNEIL + DAN PARSONS
Acclaimed singer-songwriters Dan Parsons and Tracy McNeil have joined forces to deliver a stunning set of their respective material. Drawing from Parsons’ glorious Sunday Morning Cinema and McNeil’s highly acclaimed 2020 release You Be the Lightning, they captivate audiences through the campfire intimacy of folk storytelling, searing guitar solos of the Cocaine 70’s, sweet vocal harmonies and deft musicality with songs written for the here and now. Like witnessing two people slip back into the mother tongue, Parsons and McNeil share a special musical language — two separate artists yet when on stage together, it’s hard to tell where each begins and ends.

“Parsons’ Sunday Morning Cinema is a glorious mixture of songwriting mastery, powerful vocal precision, and palpable reverence for West Coast country’s golden age.” — Gareth Hipwell, Country Update Magazine

“McNeil’s take on cruisy but heartened Americana is so accomplished; five albums in, she’s making the absolute best music of her life” — DOUBLE J

NAOMI CONNELL
