The Parker Brothers Extravaganza
It's a brodeo round-up featuring an explosive night of drumming and music. Though this enormously talented musical family has played together often privately, it’s a rare occurrence for them all to perform together publicly on a single evening. And this may not be the last time they go for the "full family monty".
Chris Parker has played with Miles Davis, Stuff, Paul Butterfield’s Better Days, The Brecker Brothers and many more as well as Saturday Night Live and has his friends coming up from NYC - Gary Sieger and friends band..
Tony Parker has played with Joan Osbourne, Mary Travers and a slew of NYC funk bands. He’s well know locally for his cool soul bands he’s drumming in, for the Extravaganza he’s bringing the soul stirring and dancing inspired tunes with Abraham and the groove.
Eric Parker, has played with Joe Cocker, Steve Winwood, Bonnie Raitt, Ian Hunter and Lou reed and is very active in the Hudson Valley Studio Recording scene, He’s bringing his friend Brian Mitchell and Big Joe Fitz bands to start the evening off.
Nick Parker has played in Orleans, Todd Rundgren, Mood Ring, Robbie Dupree and for Happy Traum’s Instructional dvd’s. He also composed all the music for High Five video games in the last 5 years. He’s going to be a "free radical ion" going from band to band adding his percussion and drum spicing to everyone’s grooves.
Robert Andrew Parker our Dad will hopefully be also playing drums and celebrating 96 years of life in art and music this night.
