Junk Parlor is the headliner at Smiley's Schooner Saloon on Friday, December 13th.
Best described as "Crooner Punk," Jason Vanderford’s Leonard Cohen-esque baritone vocals and poetic lyrics float amidst acoustic Manouche-style jazz guitar, ripping violin, banjo, colorful cajon percussion and fretless electric bass. This eclectic mix makes Junk Parlor a very unique and crazy-rare band to experience. Their vibe is driven by a joyful schizophrenia of sounds that transcend outdated genre definitions. They have been compared to Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen, Gogol Bordello, Dead Kennedys and Tom Waits.
