The Parish Record

Description

Singer-songwriter Andrew Duhon has a knack for telling the kind of stories that clearly cost the writer something—the kind of honesty that feels noble and is never half-hearted. When a song written by a stranger heals you, even in the most minute way, it is a connection that goes beyond entertainment, and that’s the journey Andrew Duhon has been undertaking from his home in Louisiana. His songs aim to acknowledge our story as much as they tell his, and his travels from coast to coast have given him a clearer view of the American landscape than most. Yet, after years of traveling the far reaches of the country, each return home to New Orleans brings him a new sensation. Out of this familiar return came The Parish Record, a snapshot of life both outside and inside one of America’s most pure cultural vignettes, and the beauty, strife, and stories that come with it. Andrew Duhon embarked with his trusted trio of musicians—Myles Weeks (James Hunter Six, Eric Lindell) on bass, Jim Kolacek (Feufollet) on drums, and Daniel Walker (Heart, Ann Wilson, Amy Ray) on keys—to harness the sound and feelings of their surroundings.
