Parachute Musical isn't what it used to be. Since it's conception in 2003, the Nashville-based, piano-fronted indie rock quartet is building a better city with perfect song-craft, highly energetic performances, and a hearty work ethic. Since the sold-out show for their sophomore release, Everything is Working Out Fine in Some Town (2008), these charmingly handsome brunettes have been touring the U.S. for the better part of the year and have built up quite a loyal following in the process. It's the good looks really, though.

D.C. natives Josh Foster (vocals/piano), Tom Gilbert (guitar/vocals), and Ben Jacoby (drums) deposited themselves into Nashville just a year before releasing Everything is Working Out, and work out it did. The guys settled in place after discovering Tennessee music man Andrew Samples (bass/vocals). Foster's soaring voice and detailed compositions are the perfect home for Gilbert's unique, artistic style on guitar. Samples' driving bass sparks a fire under Jacoby, setting ablaze a well-matched rhythm section.

With the line-up now finalized, Parachute Musical has clicked. New songs are pouring out of them, and, with strong momentum, a new album is already in the works. The band is working again with producer Derek Garten on a two-song single to be released at the beginning of the year.

Parachute Musical's sound is progressing. Foster's lyrics remain heartfelt while the music becomes stronger. It is original and well-rehearsed; they're so tight you'd swear they were all wearing girdles. These guys are having fun, no doubt about it, and there isn't another band in Nashville more ready to be taken seriously. See them now so you can say you knew them when...

A little bit about our record..
After over a year in the making, Parachute Musical released Everything Is Working Out Fine In Some Town on June 19th, 2008. The record is a catalyst of pop-rock composition and classical arrangement, with upbeat, hook laden rock songs along side string soaked ballads. A reappearing four note theme carries the listener throughout the record, as Foster lyrically depicts a timeline of the last four years of his life - from a broken family, to a canceled engagement, to running from it all and traveling the country.. Parachute Musical takes the listener on an unforgettable journey with this strikingly intense and elaborate release. "Some of the most entertaining, high energy piano based pop in the country..pop craftsmanship at it's finest." -Viva Indie Rock
