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.” John Andrew Parks

CountryHome Forum have more than 5,000 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 50,000 readers.

Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.

I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.

Thanks

Dear John Andrew Parks,

Every time that we listen & write music... play an instrument... sing & dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/image/video engineering process... something is healing inside...

When we share it with friends... something is healing all over...

Love can drive... in a simple way... everything

We are connected

Vibejays & Friends

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimada/o John Andrew Parks,

cada vez que escuchamos o escribimos musica... tocamos un instrumento... cantamos y bailamos... o trabajamos en procesos de ingenieria de audio/imagen/video.... algo se sana por dentro...

Cuando lo compartimos con amigos... algo se sana en todas partes...

El Amor puede conducir... de manera simple... todo...

Estamos conectados...
