ABOUT EVALYN:
“equally funny and dangerous” CBC Radio
Wielding a sharp pen, a quirky musical sensibility and a wicked sense of humour, songwriter, spokenword and theatre artist Evalyn Parry’s outspoken, personal and political creations hold out a powerful vision of social change, while her irreverent wit holds nothing sacred. "Equally funny…and dangerous” CBC Radio "poignant, scathing, nostalgic, flippant and often fabulously funny...she breathes new life into the folk tradition with her politics, passion and poetry " Penguin Eggs, Canada's Folk, Roots and World Music Magazine
Parry’s latest release, Small Theatres, is a double CD package from Borealis Records. Featuring one disc devoted entirely to her musical offerings and a second devoted to her spoken word poetry, the album has met with glowing reviews from coast to coast. From The Lincoln Centre Out of Doors Festival in New York City, to living room concerts, from folk festivals to union halls to college campuses, to poetry and storytelling events, Parry has toured all around Canada and the USA with her unique brand of folk-pop-storytelling.
“engaging, clever and constantly surprising...Parry evokes tears and laughter in equal measure...” Herizons Magazine
“...thoughtful, funny and sharp…Parry’s personal and political writing stands outside anyone's shadow…” EYE Magazine
“...she cleverly dances the line between bottled rage ….and sweet hilarity” XTRA Magazine
“...from the haunting…to the quirky… to the outright eerie and wryly urbane…inventive instrumentation and imaginative arrangements enhance the theatrical spark of Parry's verbal wit” Toronto Star
“…breathtaking, sharp and right to the point… impressive observations…with a deeply human undertone” MazzMusica, Belgium
“Parry redefines political folk music” Halifax Daily News
On July 10 at the Railway Club, Evalyn will be joined by David Celia on guitar and Brad Hart on percussion.
