Folk Rock in the Pacific Northwest
Based out of Eugene, Oregon, Parker Galactic delivers an authentic blend of folk-rock, country, blues, and story-driven Americana. The quintet features Ed Parker (guitar, vocals), Anthony Forcellini (guitar, lap steel, vocals), Ryan Galas (bass), Josh Manders (keys, vocals), and Mike Clark (drums, vocals). Together, they craft a versatile sound centered around creative musical hooks, open grooves, and rich vocal melodies.
