parker is fronted and creatively built around songs co-written by singer/songwriter Tom McNeil and songwriter/singer/producer Thomas Ryder Payne.The new CD by parker, examines the point in our lives where we reach moments of personal crisis and how close we come to destruction in our everyday existence. Tom McNeil was the lead singer and principal songwriter for the popular Toronto band Freshwater Drum, who were a constant fixture in the Toronto music scene for over a decade. The band built a strong following sharing the stage with such acts as The Barenaked Ladies, The Lowest of the Low, Edie Brickell, 54-40 and Finger Eleven. They released their first album "Classical Fish," followed by their second release "Diving Horse," for which they received the Factor Independent Loan award. Thomas Ryder Payne is a Toronto-based producer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, performer and sound designer. As a session musician, he has played with Howie Beck, Wild Strawberries, Kathryn Rose, Jonathan Seet and many more.After spending 6 years recording and touring with the band Joydrop (including writing the top 20 single "Sometimes Wanna Die"), Thomas has been working mostly as a producer (focusing on up and coming artists like The Populars, Rebekah Higgs, The Blue Raincoats, among others) and as a composer/sound designer for the theatre, receiving 2 Dora nominations for Leo (Tarragon) and Bloom (Modern Times) last year. Thomas is also a prolific songwriter, working as a solo act and in collaboration with other artists. **parker's song "Love Myself" from their new release "BOMBSHELL" was featured on the Global Television sitcom "TheJane Show."

The Rivoli better get ready, because tonight VEDETTE, Canary Mine and Little Foot Long Foot are coming to party, and bringing all of their party people. Each act is super-pumped to bring you their best set EVER, and we can't wait to see you there! If you miss out, then you'll be one of those sucky "I missed out people", and someone will play a sad, farty old tuba song in your honour... Don't be like that. This one's definitely gonna be a party, and you won't believe what's in store for you. So c'mon by the Rivoli tonight! 334 Queen Street West (which is basically at Queen & Spadina.)
