Locked in our prison cells waiting for Covid to pass.
On Parole are two musicians from North Shields. Larry Page - guitars and vocals, and Steve Rudd - bass, guitars and vocals
On Parole’s music has it’s roots in the blues and rock of the early seventies but is influenced by all the music the band has covered over the decades, be it pop soul, reggae or folk.
The first album released in 2017 Old Shoes with New Laces is magnificently engineered and produced by Steve Coates and is enhanced by local musicians Mike Waller (piano), Liam Fender (keyboard), and Phil Corbitt (saxophone). Influenced by over forty years of music, gigging and life experiences, with hints of blues, rock, soul, pop, and folk this collection of songs will not fit into one music genre.
