Parish Gap

Parish Gap offers a broad variety of pop-rock musical sounds, tastefully and artfully presented with excellent vocals and superb musicianship. Our repertoire consists mostly of original compositions composed over a 30 year performing career that has taken us to most of the USA and Canada. In addition, we season our menu with the best and most popular cover tunes collected on the journey. Our ever-changing blend of styles ranges from rock 'n' roll to easy listening, jazz to folk, and blues to country, taking the listeners on a delightful Journey through Song. If the audience is into listening and appreciating great vocal and instrumental presentations, we pour out quality songs that mesmerize with mood and grace that you can feel in the air. If dancing is the audience's desire, we shift to time-tested classic dance songs mixed with our own tasteful and toe-tapping dance numbers. Discerning audiences appreciate the flawless professionalism our seasoned group brings to the stage from our long and tight collaboration.

The group consists of:

Tom Wright on guitar, harmonica, and vocals, and Bob Rause on keyboards, bass, and vocals. They have been a musical duo since they met in high school in the Chicago area. Together they comprise the heart and soul of Parish Gap's unique sound and presence. As a songwriting and performing team, their seamless sound creates music that they describe as "Art Rock"—music that paints pictures in the minds of the listeners.

Heather Moorland has honed her singing and performing skills in many choirs, a cappella groups, and has performed with bands throughout the Pacific Northwest. The beauty of her voice and her dynamic performance style never fail to impress. She knows what the audience wants, and always delivers.

Stephen Down, who artfully provides the heartbeat of the group on drums. He is an extraordinary percussionist and delivers the solid, lively beat that gets people’s toes tapping. His talent and sheer power as a versatile rock 'n' roll drummer will knock your socks off!

Nona Miller has been singing since the age of four. She sang in choirs all through school and music is her true joy. She has been singing for weddings, county fairs, family and friends and is always ready to deliver her best to the audience. She sings from a deep emotional commitment to music. Her unique sense of style captivates and thoroughly entertains.

Together, they create uncompromising quality, variety, and taste in a musical experience appreciated by all who hear them from young to old. It would be our pleasure to perform at your venue.
