Bad Gin Sanctuary Presents
Al Park and his band – singling the songs from Monkey.
Released in August to rave reviews, Al Park and his band (Adam Hattaway, Elmore Jones & AJ Park) are celebrating the new album ‘MONKEY’.
From the young punk with a telecaster, to the old soul with the acoustic, Al has been not just a representative of music but sensei to some of its strongest exports (Marlon Williams, Aldous Harding, Delaney Davidson, the Adams – McGrath and Hattaway), always there making the magic move and the music sing.
A man who has no thoughts of retiring, Al is still digging in the record mines and as excited as a teenager with their first demo, Al keeps making records and writing songs and singing them for whomever comes a listening but more importantly because songs are his story. His comfort and joy, fire and light, answers and questions all at once.
”Al has delivered an excellent album, with both softness and strength, light and darkness, boldness and beauty. A superb craftsman, at the top of his game. ” – Peter K Malthus
”The best are two weary and reflective songs; the cigarettes’n’whisky ballad Careless Love and especially the intimate Twilight Hour which, in the keyboard backdrop from Adam Hattaway, taps the downbeat street soul mood of Southside Johnny and Springsteen ballads: “My dreams have changed, I’m in the twilight hour”. Or maybe his hour has come.” – Graham Reid
An intimate, mostly seated show at Space Academy.
