Original Americana Rock

Parker Galactic channels the spirit of the Pacific Northwest with a sound that rolls like a river and peaks like golden hour over the Cascades. Blending folk, country, blues, and alternative rock, their music feels both earthy and cosmic—like a backwoods jam wrapped in starlight. Parker Galactic tells the stories of drifters, lovers, wild places, and wide open spaces.

Parker Galactic is: Ed Parker (guitar, vocals), Anthony Forcellini (guitar, lap steel, vocals), Ryan Galas (bass), Josh Manders (keys, vocals), and Mike Clark (drums, vocals).
