The Roast of Gram Parsons

  • Under St. Marks Theater 94 Saint Marks Place New York, NY, 10009 United States (map)

A musical/storytelling dark comedy featuring the music of Gram Parsons, the godfather of alt-rock country - and one of the most legendary debauch rock ‘n roll stories of all-time - told through the lens of musician Gram Parsons half-cremated body.

In 1973, Gram Parsons made a pact with his tour manager, Phil Kaufman- whoever dies first, the other would cremate their body at Joshua Tree. Gram died first. Phil stole his body. It all didn't turn out as planned…
