Parker House and Theory, winner of the Boston Music Award for Best Live Act, mashes together rock, funk, pop and soul that oozes with energy and charisma. The four diverse members of the group met at Emerson College. Eric-jon (Vocals, Guitar) and Colin (Bass) came from France and Rhode Island respectively while Marcos (Drums, Vocals) hails from Puerto Rico, Andy (Harmonica, Keys, Vocals) from Costa Rica. Parker House began playing gigs together at a local Starbucks cafe. They played weekly for $20 and free coffee (no frozen drinks or cider, only coffee beverages were gratis). Playing shows anywhere they could, they eventually started making some noise in Boston. Having no vehicle they walked their gear from their dorms to area venues using Emerson College laundry bins. They eventually bought a van and hit the road. Thanks to incessant touring, Parker House has generated a grassroots buzz on a mission to spread their musical seed far and wide.
This year they toured with O.A.R. and shared the stage with Robert Randolph, Jack's Mannequin, Jurassic 5, 311, G. Love and Special Sauce, The Wailers, Dropkick Murphy’s, John Butler Trio, Everclear and State Radio. “Fiercely musical...one of the next generation of acts to watch" by the Boston Globe. "One big Rock dance party," - The Daily Free Press
Parker House and Theory released a new album in the late spring of 2008 titled "Automatic Stranger" produced and recorded by 7x Grammy Award winning producer Thom Russo (Eric Clapton, Audioslave, Juanes, Mana, System of a Down)
