THE ROAST OF GRAM PARSONS to Play Pete’s Candy Store This Month

THE ROAST OF GRAM PARSONS will play Pete’s Candy Store (709 Lorimer St, Brooklyn, NY 11211) on Tuesday, July 15 at 8:30 p.m.

The show is a musical storytelling dark comedy featuring the music of Gram Parsons—often dubbed the godfather of alt-rock country—and recounts one of the most legendary debauched rock 'n roll stories of all time. The tale unfolds through the lens of Parsons' half-cremated body.

In 1973, Gram Parsons made a pact with his tour manager, Phil Kaufman: whoever died first, the other would cremate the body at Joshua Tree. Gram died first. Phil stole the body. Things didn’t go quite as planned...

THE ROAST OF GRAM PARSONS is written and directed by Harmon Leon (This American Life, 99% Invisible), with Tim Hassler starring as Gram Parsons and music by Max Newland.
