Oklahoma-based roots musician Parker Millsap played a show last night at the Turf Club. It was a great show, reports The Current’s Bill DeVille, who was in attendance.

Unfortunately, very early Tuesday morning Millsap’s tour van was stolen from outside a hotel near the MSP airport. Millsap and his band lost property including their tour merch, a drum kit, and Millsap’s harmonica — meaning that at the Turf Club, the band had to fill in with fiddle for some of the harmonica parts.

“They took it in stride,” says DeVille, “but it’s a bummer.” Millsap, DeVille notes, is currently topping the Americana charts — a rising star with a bullet, who nonetheless has suffered this stroke of bad luck. “He said onstage that he’s not holding it against the Twin Cities,” says DeVille.

The band have shared the following information about the theft, and would welcome any information about the missing vehicle and gear. Anyone with information can contact Jon Grau (615-228-7701, jon@slipshodmusic.com).
