I’m a songwriter who enjoys making music that works on multiple levels.  I understand the “rules” fairly well, but that doesn’t mean I like ‘em.  My influences are folks like Roger Miller and Steve Earle… artists who carved out their own niche in country music rather than simply diving head first into the mainstream.  I have a solo album “Michael Parker’s Drunktank Confessional”
