Pablo Center at the Confluence operates in support of a mission that is focused on augmenting and developing opportunities to experience the performing, literary and visual arts for people of all ages and backgrounds.
The center offers the region a facility capable of providing transformative training, learning and creative opportunities. Inside, guests, local partners, and artists experience a 1,200+ seat theatre and an approximately 400-seat flexible theatre; three rehearsal, dance and community rooms; visual arts galleries; labs for sound and lighting, set and exhibit design, recording arts, multimedia production and costume design; and spaces equipped to support vocational training initiatives.
We have enjoyed going to performances at the Pablo Center. However, with the current pricing we find it very difficult to spend nearly 160 dollars for 2 tickets. Being retired and on a fixed income we find it difficult to to attend any future performances. Wayne Dubberke
I can’t stop sharing this, Charlie plays this set soooo sweetly. He knows how to make that Guild ring like a prophet of the 12 string!!!! Charlie Parr is DEFINITELY one of the greats.
I saw Charlie about a year before Covid in Hamden, CT. Told him how much I loved his music. He did a song he said his mom hated ; ) about a woodchuck, he and his dad were watching while sitting on the front porch, sippin' a beer. Sounds weird, I was transported ! As if I was sittin' outside on the porch with them. Spoiler alert: the woodchuck didn't live much longer. I get a similar effect from his new Album/ song: "Blues for Whitefish Lake, 1975". He explained it in one new album interview. He loved his dad. You can tell he misses him. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uiNNhovE6cA.html
You can hear his bear feet tapping as part of the song and sounds much better than shoes or boots or stomp box! I've just been trying to copy it and it's tricky.
does anyone know how the percussion works? it looks like it's all coming from his bare foot (heel for "kick" and toes for highs) but how did they mic it to sound so full? it's awesome, I'm just confused lol
Love listening to Charlie Parr. Something about it so nice, the old depression doesn't have anything to latch on to so just gonna let go of it and keep listening.
Here, they just have a microphone pointed at his foot. He stomps the shit out of the floor when he plays, so it's plenty loud. Usually when he plays live, he uses an amplified stompbox, and it's a very bass heavy sound, you can feel the thump in your chest. It's awesome.
