Brian Parton

"If you put down a nice groove, even solo, people can dance to it,"

"Brian Parton is the kind of person who has a story – and a really good one at that – for every situation. The same goes for his songs, which reflect the zest he has for life and the constantly evolving world of music...."

"Brian is a gifted singer/songwriter who, as noted in this column last year, wields a mean Gretsch Country Gentleman electric and is likely to cover anything from Charlie Rich to Echo & the Bunnymen."

"The Dark Ruler of Rockabilly, Brian Parton is the closest thing to Dave and Phil Alvin, or would be if those guys were a whole lot more cynical."

"..And, there on the stage, was the skinny, wild-eyed rocker that I first laid eyes on when I was 15. He still looks just as crazy as he did to me when I was a kid, and still jams like some kind of radio-active mutant Hank Williams.."
