Parker Millsap

(performing on Saturday afternoon, August 20)
From the rich tradition of Oklahoma songwriters, Parker’s songs have wit, depth, and soul - heaven and hell, love and mercy. Parker can howl a delta blues or sweetly serenade like a heavenly choir.
I caught Parker a few months ago in a packed church at SxSW and it was simply stunning - from pin drop silence to a very forceful standing ovation. With his trio of fiddle and upright bass, Parker sways like Elvis and swaggers like a legend in the making.
Parker opens his latest album with this bluesy barnburner about hell (and lust and trains): www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ruktixvAUw And what follows is an enthralling album that will have you hooked.
