Press

“Friday night was highlighted by the Parker Urban Band, an eight-piece ensemble led by the formidable chops of guitatrist/bandleader John Parkerurban, and fronted by twin lead singers Myrna Stallworth and Juanita Parkerurban. John whipped the band through a string of originals ” Chicken and Rice”, ” Writing a Letter” , and ” Heroes Journey” ( John is ex-USMC and Semper Fi ), as well as funky covers of Tower of Power’s ” What Is Hip?” and The Meters’ ” Just Kissed My Baby”. The sax, keyboards, and blues harp additions to the lineup delivered a broad, forceful sound that melded blues, jazz, and funk to great effect.”

“Last night at Skippers the Parker Urban Band opened for Damon Fowler...What a treat! They're a young outfit from Jax, Guitar, bass, and drums with two amazing young ladies on vocals. Parker's a hot guitarist and the girls both sing lead and do great harmonies as well...Funky little outfit, catch them if you get the chance!”
