Parley's Drifters play good-timey music. Their style is heavily influenced by old-timey players, with a lot of country, bluegrass, blues, and rock-n-roll mixed in. Old-timey refers to the oldest form of country music that was ever recorded. Its’ roots lay in British folk songs played on traditional stringed instruments, and its’ mix of influences include vaudeville comedy and blues.
Kyle Ricks plays the mandolin, flute, and guitar. He was living near the mouth of Parley’s Canyon in Salt Lake City, Utah (as in the “Parley’s” part of the band name) with his longtime friend from childhood, Monty Puzey. Monty played the guitar and harmonica at the time. They jammed some together, but were hungry to play more. They invited Ross Pincock, aka Gozer, to their house to jam with them. Ross was a cousin of Kyle’s (Kyle’s father and Ross’ mother are brother and sister) and a guitar picker. The three loved making music with each other right away. Ross learned how to play harmonica, and Monty picked up the dobro, expanding on the sound of the three. People would come to jam sometimes, and they would call everyone they played with “cousin”, referring, of course, to Ross and Kyle’s kinship. They decided to form a band, and started to seek out other players to round out their sound. Kyle, Monty, and Ross were always there to play, but others came and went, and came as they could (as in the “Drifters” part of the band name).
Parley’s Drifters continue to play regularly in Salt Lake City and the outlying areas. Although they have performed with as many as 6 people onstage, the original trio of Cousin Kyle on mandolin, Cousin Monty on dobro and vocals, and Cousin Ross on guitar, harmonica and vocals, remains the constant core of the band.
Add me, because I..'m just Amazing!! Nikolette Leah was born with a deep passion for music and the performing arts. Her natural musical talents gave her the drive to become an accomplished singer, dancer, and songwriter. Born in Southern California, she relocated around the country often during her childhood; each time obtaining experiences and influences which shaped her musical abilities. She has accumulated a large fan base with her soulful voice and powerful energy, encompassing various age groups and musical genres. Her vocal acrobatics and rich crisp tone, will soon become a force to be reckoned with in the Music Industry!
