Parker Barrow

Southern blues rock band's UK tour: not to be missed

- 

Led by the husband-and-wife duo of vocalist Megan Kane and drummer Dylan Turner, Parker Barrow are a high-energy, blues-infused Southern rock’n’roll band from Nashville. Following this summer’s first visit to the UK, the six-piece make a speedy return as guests of The Damn Truth.

The band’s name tips its Stetson to the US outlaws Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Does that sometimes cause confusion?

Dylan Turner: It definitely inspires quizzical looks. After the explanation, we make a point of saying that we’re not running from the law, we’re running towards something. We do feel connected to Bonnie & Clyde, but our own pursuits are much different.

Your debut jaunt to Europe included three UK shows, notably a spot on the main stage at Maid Of Stone. Though the fans enjoyed it the weather gods were a little less kind.

Megan Kane: Right. We had wind and rain.
