John Andrew Parks (the story)

John Andrew Parks is the seven-pound star sapphire you find hidden among the boulders in your backyard. The lost Picasso someone’s trying to unload at a garage sale. The rare coin jingling among the change in your pocket.

Parks is a Songwriter's Songwriter, a Poet, and a Storyteller. Park's melodic narratives run from windblown prairies and old jalopies to shooting stars across the cosmic canvas. As Kenny Rogers once said on an NBC Television Special, “John Andrew Parks is one of the greatest singer/songwriters I’ve heard in 20 years, and whether or not you like this song you have never heard anything like it before!”

Equally important is his voice with it’s three-octave range. Not only is it beautiful, it's powerful and highly stylized. His act is filled with humor, pathos and the rhythm of a steam locomotive. Parks traverses from a Texas-style bluster, bigger than life, to an intimate whisper that evokes some third, unseen entity that seems to glue the audience together into one single universal spirit. A music critic from The Music Connection, attending one of his concerts cited, “The breath of the audience came to a halt, and that’s when I heard my own heart beating”. The experience, I think you’ll find, is absolutely unique.

Because of his “bona fide originality”, Parks was signed by the illustrious Bruce Lundvall at Capitol Records to record & release his first self-titled album. Produced by Parks, John Boylan and Jerry Crutchfield to much critical acclaim, it included his original full-length version of “Planet Texas”, still a staple at “Texas Rebel Radio”.

In December 2006, Parks was the headline act for a CCTV entertainment special that was broadcast to over 600 million people in China. The special brought attention to the HIV/AIDS situation in China. John Andrew wrote and performed “My Windows World” specifically for the program, which tells the emotionally touching story of a orphan child with AIDS looking out his bedroom window, longing to be with the other children he sees playing outside.

The music community continues to herald Parks’ unique sound and style. Jim Fogelsong, a Lifetime Achievement Grammy winner, commented: “John Andrew Parks’ influence will be felt for a decade to come.”
