+ THE PARLOR +
Named after a room in the 19th century farmhouse where they live, farm, and create, The Parlor is a project by husband and wife team Eric Krans and Jen O’Connor. The multi-instrumentalist, producer-composers create intimate art-pop intended to reflect some of the most powerful aspects of the human experience. Their unique brand of immersive soundscaping and aural synesthetic-composition is the vessel through which they share their most vulnerable moments with grace and joy, in ways both gentle and thought provoking. The sonic corollary to what the couple is bringing to their land, an artisanal re-imagining of an antique dream.
The Parlor has performed at the Farm Aid festival alongside music icons Neil Young, Willie Nelson, and Dave Matthews. They have opened for Grammy Nominated artists The Lumineers, and have shared the stage with Willy Mason, Deer Tick, Lucius, Langhorne Slim, Man Man, Phantogram, Hop Along, and Sharon VanEtten.
