Mel Parsons led a confidently understated band on the Tuning Fork stage, her between song banter in upbeat juxtaposition to the lyrical content’s often somber and melancholy tone.
Mel Parsons closed out her Sabotage Album Release Tour with a sold out concert at Auckland’s Q Theatre, a venue that seems to be growing in stature in a city that needs more quality places to play.
Mel Parsons opened up her Tiny Days Tour in Auckland in front of a seated audience at Galatos with a show dedicated to parents and their children. I’ve been to a few shows at Galatos over the years and I seem to remember most of those shows as rather raucous events…
After recently reviewing Mel Parsons' new album, ‘Slow Burn' I was super keen to see her on stage again. How would these songs work live? For me, it's been a few years since I've seen her on a big stage. But through various channels, I've always kept up with her work.
