Eric Parker began his music career in 2002 as a songwriter for his own indie label Music for Missions. The companies first album A Remedy Raised featured Parker's songwriting and guitar playing throughout, but he only sang a few tracks. Eric soon took a job playing acoustic guitar for the progressive rock group Glass Hammer. While on tour with GH in '03 and '05 Eric wrote and recorded several songs for the CPR (Christian Progressive Rock) compilations. In March of 2008 Parker teamed up with Producer Robert Streets to record his first solo album, From the Shoulders of Giants. Produced by Streets and engineered by Glass Hammer's Fred Schendel, the new album carries elements of classic and progressive rock into the modern scene.
“The hymns may be unfamiliar to many, but the depth, truth and beauty of the timeless poetry found on From the Shoulders of Giants will engage mind and soul.”
Barry Nothstine - The Phantom Tollbooth
“Parker joins the ranks of others who are re-working ancient hymnody, but he brings the art to a new level of excellence.”
Dr. Michael Milton - President RTS Charlotte
“Parker mines amazing lyrical treasures and wraps them in a well-produced, memorable pop/folk/rock blanket of sound.”
DJ Barry - Soulfrequency Radio
“Parker doesn't just dress up these hymns in new clothes. His melodies amplify the message.”
Chris Slaten - Recording artist
