Graham Parker April 8, 2005

For nearly 30 years, Graham Parker has been slinging a signature sound across continents and airwaves that has rightly earned him a spot in the pantheon of truly original and influential figures in rock and roll. Since his early days with his band the Rumour (with whom he has two albums in Rolling Stone's Top 100 Albums of All Time), Graham has coupled punk's energy with his deeply rooted love of American R&B, country and soul music. He's got a barroom brawler's rasp and sneer, a soul man's swagger and an ear for indelible hooks and pop song.
