Dana Halferty is a bit of a traveler. When I caught up with the lead singer of Parlours, she had just flown in from Guatemala, stopped in Chicago and was en route to Iowa. Her next stop? Lawrence.

Parlours is set to take the stage at the Jackpot on Superbowl Sunday with a host of other acts including Sam Billen, Canby and Seafarer. She’s toured with fellow bandmate Scott Yoshimura before, but this time the full band is heading out on tour. “I just like the full band dynamic,” said Halferty. “I think our songs are at their best in the full form. It’s just a fun dynamic to have everyone there.”

Although this will be the Iowa band’s first time playing in Lawrence, the town isn’t foreign to Halferty. It’s held a soft spot in her heart when it comes to music. “One of my favorite bands is The Appleseed Cast,” said Halferty. “So I’ve always respected Lawrence’s music scene.” She also noted another area band she used to listen to nonstop, The Belles. “It’s just fun to go somewhere where you’re actually somewhat aware of what’s going on musically.”

For Halferty, Lawrence also plays a role in how she connects with other people, which is good for her songwriting. “Most of my songs are very relationally inspired,” said Halferty of her wistful and romantic music. “I’d say about 80 percent of the time they’re about somebody specific in a situation I encountered.” Such was the case for the band’s most popular song ‘I Dream of Chicago,’ which Halferty wrote while on a train to Chicago.

Don’t expect Parlours to stick around for too long. After the Lawrence show, they have seven more cities to hit up in their tour. Of course, with Halferty, hitting the road is almost expected now, what with the 32 states she visited last year. “I kind of have a travel bug, so I never stay still for too long.”

To catch Parlours while you still can, head to the Jackpot on Superbowl Sunday at 6:30 p.m. Oh, and bring your appetite. Because they’re also hosting a potluck.
