Parsonsfield is a five-piece Americana band from Connecticut that
infuses a rowdy, rock-'n'-roll spirit into its bluegrass and folk
influences, blowing away any preconception of what you think banjos and
mandolins should sound like. Parsonsfield - Chris Freeman (vocals,
banjo), Antonio Alcorn (mandolin), Max Shakun (vocals, pump organ,
guitar), Harrison Goodale (bass), Erik Hischmann (drums)has toured
steadily since 2010. In 2013 they recorded their debut
album Poor Old Shine (Signature Sounds Recordings), produced by Sam
Kassirer (Josh Ritter, Lake Street Dive). The critics were impressed,
with David Vescey from the New York Times noting, "I fully expect to
hear more from this band as the years go on." and the U.K.'s Maverick
Magazine calling it
"A blistering energetic debut."
