Known as the “Father of Country Rock,” Gram Parsons reshaped American music in ways that echo to this day. His influence runs far beyond The Eagles, Buffalo Springfield, and Poco – reaching artists as diverse as The Rolling Stones, The Monkees, Aretha Franklin, and The Doors.

In a well-documented, self-destructive, brief career, Gram Parsons left a timeless body of work with The Flying Burrito Brothers and groundbreaking collaborations with Emmylou Harris.

In 1968 He joined The Byrds for a single album, hijacking the band’s original concept to create what became the purest country record ever made by a rock band. Nashville was appalled, rock audiences bewildered and Sweetheart of the Rodeo  became one of the foundational documents of American music.

To honor this musical pioneer, American Troubadour Pat Guadagno gathers a powerhouse lineup of Americana standouts: Lisa Bouchelle with ‘A voice that can fill an amphitheater yet make you feel like the only one in the room’ – Longtime NYC favorite singer-songwriter James Maddock—fresh off his European tour with Counting Crows .

Driven by three unmistakable, soulful, road-tested voices, and backed by a band of first-call players – including Shawn Pelton of Saturday Night Live – this isn’t a tribute; it’s a celebration that breathes, burns, and remembers a legacy that refuses to fade.
