LEGENDS
GATHER TO CELEBRATE September 8, 2002 (Nashville, TN) – A host of music legends including Jessi Colter, Rosie Flores, Jim Lauderdale, and Chris Knight will gather to honor the memory of Gram Parsons with a concert entitled Standing in the Shadow of the Grievous Angel on September 19th at the Blue Sky Court in Nashville. The date marks the 30th anniversary of the passing of Parsons, who is commonly referred to as the father of country rock music, and was known not only for his brief but celebrated solo career but also for his work as a member of the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers. The event, presented by Sin City Marketing and Polly Parsons, the daughter of Gram Parsons, will also feature performances by Grant Lee Phillips, eastmountainsouth, and the Bottle Rockets, along with a few surprise guests. The concert coincides with this year’s Americana Music Conference, and a special panel discussion will take place on September 18th at the main ballroom of the Renaissance Hotel for conference attendees, moderated by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame historian and former editor of Rolling Stone Holly George-Warren, and featuring famed author Pamela Des Barres, Peter Blackstock of No Depression magazine, and other notable artists and industry professionals who were close to Parsons. The free concert will begin at 10:00 pm on Friday, September 19th and is open to the public. The Blue Sky Court is located at 410 4th Avenue South in Nashville Tennessee. For more information, or to schedule and interview with Polly Parsons, contact Shilah Morrow at Sin City Marketing at (323) 666-9200 or at shilah@sincitymarketing.com. # # # |
