English singer-song-
writer GRAHAM
PARKER, best known
for leading British band
Graham Parker & the
Rumour, brings his
soul-inflected rock ‘n’
PARKER
roll to the SOUTH
ORANGE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER.
Parker has had a wide following since
the ’70s-’80s, which produced “Local
Girls,” “Hey Lord, Don’t Ask Me
Questions” and “Mercury Poisoning”;
his band’s 1979 release of the classic
Squeezing Out Sparks cemented their
position as one of Britain’s top live acts,
and ensured sold-out concerts on their
long world tours. After The Rumour
disbanded, Parker continued as a solo
headliner and short fiction writer; in
2011, filmmaker Judd Apatow reunited
him with his former group, and fea-
tured them in the plot of his film
This is Forty. See and hear what
this formidable artist is up to now.
Tickets $25-$32. • One SOPAC Way,
