Charlie Parr / The Danny Pound Band / Justin Ripley

When: Tuesday, Feb. 6, 2007, 10 p.m.

Where: The Jackpot Music Hall, 943 Mass., Lawrence

Cost: $5

Age limit: 18+

Categories: Blues

Description: When it comes to the Delta blues, it's easy to get lost in a retroist mindset that overwhelms the immediate power of blues music in the present. Minneapolis based songster Charlie Parr could well have been plucked out of a Harry Smith Anthology, but his songs are his own. He accompanies himself with National resonator guitars, 12-string guitars and gut-string banjos, informed by the stylings of influential pickers like Rev. Gary Davis and Dave Van Ronk.
