A native of Austin, Texas, Parker has made a strong impression on critics and fans alike. American Songwriter notes, "he teeters on the edge of next-level superstardom, taking cues from rule breakers like
Chris Stapleton and Kacey Musgraves" while Rolling Stone adds, "Parker is a no-holds-barred, confessional singer-songwriter who excels at relatable tales." Parker continues to rack up impressive streaming numbers recently crossing over 350M total career domestic streams.
Parker has been named a SiriusXM Highway Finds Artist and has previously been selected as an Artist to Watch by CMT, Rolling Stone, SiriusXM, MusicRow and
Sounds Like Nashville. A singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and dedicated road warrior, Parker began building a following in 2015 with his album The Limestone Kid. The track "Meet You in The Middle" became a hit on Texas' regional radio chart — no small feat for an independent, 22-year-old musician — but it was the album's widely-acclaimed follow-up, Probably Wrong, that helped Parker find national success. Compared to
John Mayer and
Jason Isbell by Rolling Stone, Parker supported the album with a string of sold-out shows, bringing record-breaking crowds to venues like San Angelo's RiverStage and two sold-out night at Billy Bob's along the way. Born in Conroe, TX, the 28-year-old entrepreneurially-spirited artist bridges the gap between Texas' homegrown music scene and Nashville's country-industry headquarters.
