The guinea pigs for Sustain’s first Songscape retreat ever, we hear from Chris Freeman of Parsonsfield and some of the inspiration behind that experience. Charles Coplin and Chris explore the different ways in which inspiration can strike, how nature permeates other aspects of life and the evolution of the band over the years.
The new album, Happy Hour on the Floor, investigates the “in between moments” and being present in everyday life. Setting music to the ordinary, makes it extraordinary. 2020 brought with it new challenges, and once again, Parsonsfield was forced to pivot and come up with innovative solutions for their live shows. Some of which included experimenting with loop pedals and taking a more DIY approach to touring during the pandemic.
