Parsonsfield and Sawyer Fredericks were impressive
by Woodsyrama on 10/31/18Swyer Theatre at The Egg - ALBANYI bought tickets to see Sawyer Fredericks, who I have been a fan of since his blind audition of "Man of Constant Sorrow' on The Voice. Parsonsfield was an unexpected delight. They performed original material, something they have in common with Sawyer Fredericks. I particularly liked the eclectic assortment of instruments on stage, including a saw (yes, a SAW!) and an accordion. The band was high energy and I enjoyed their songs. Sawyer Fredericks' original material evokes deep emotions; I find it hard to hold back the tears on "Broken Home". His unleashed performance of a new original entitled "Amen" was very angry just as he described the song. My favorite parts of the night were when Sawyer and guitarist Jerome Goosman jammed together on 'Stranger' and 'Not my Girl'.
