Graham Parker returns with his full electric band The Figgs. For nearly 30 years he’s been slinging his signature sound, earning a spot in the pantheon of influential rock ‘n’ roll figures. Since his early days with The Rumour, Parker has coupled punk’s energy with his deeply rooted love of American R&B, country and soul music. Graham was at the forefront of the new-wave movement since the mid-70s with the classic albums “Squeezing Out Sparks” & “The Up Escalator” and songs like “Protection”, “Local Girls”, “White Honey”, “Heat Treatment”, “Wake Up (Next to You)” & “Get Started, Start a Fire”
“Parker’s pub-rock snarl has worked its magic for a generation.” – Village Voice
