Indie Folk-Rock and Americana

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 country, blues, psych, and folk-rock, their original songs tell 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).
