Parker Bradley has achieved the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a Texas musician: He’s opened for Willie Nelson.
Granted, this was a while ago, when Bradley was a guitarist in a college jam band, but the fact remains that Willie saw something in the young musician.
In the more than 20 years since, Bradley has matured into a singer-songwriter who chisels away at his craft in the studio and on stages at venues throughout Austin. His eternal pursuit of folk and Americana perfection is informed by merging the classic sounds of Bob Dylan and Mark Knopfler with newer acts like Jason Isbell and Gregory Alan Isakov.
Parker will release his first full length album, “Certain Days”, in April of 2024. Recorded in just three days at The Zone Recording Studios in Dripping Springs, TX. Veteran musician Pat Mankse produced the album with an experienced cast of players, Brett Danaher on Guitars, Matt Slagle on Bass, Sean Giddings on Keyboards and Tripp Wiggins on Drums. The title track “Certain Days” features renowned session guitarist, David Grissom, on Electric, Slide and Baritone guitars. Parker was fortunate to have the legendary Lloyd Maines play pedal steel on three songs.
