The Parrish-Hundley Band is excited about being included in the soundtrack of Firestorm Pictures latest project entitled "Apparition." In one scene, the two leading male characters travel to a local bar, Molly's Pub, in an attempt to learn the history of an abandoned hospital which was believed to be haunted. While speaking with the locals, trying to find out information on the hospital, you hear the Parrish-Hundley songs "Texas in the Man" and "Blue Jean Baby" playing in the background. "Apparition" stars Natalie Bolton of television's popular reality show "Survivor."

MIKE PARRISH WINS 2008 INTERNATIONAL FAME GAMES EFFIGY AWARD FOR BEST BLUES ROCK ARTIST
Marbella, Spain - Mike Parrish is very pleased to announce that he has been awarded the 2008 International Fame Games Radio Effigy Award for BEST BLUES ROCK ARTIST. "Texas in the Man" was submitted to Fame Games in 2007 and, although the song is the title track from Mike's solo album, this song is actually a collaboration between Mike and his lifelong friend Sammy Hundley. In fact, "Texas in the Man" is the first actual Parrish-Hundley song ever written and recorded.
"I'm very pleased to receive the 2008 Effigy Award for Best Blues Rock Artist and both Sammy and I are completely honored because of the caliber of artists who are continually featured on the show. There were thousands of nominees for these awards so I have to say that I was honored just to have become one of the five finalists in the Blues Rock category but even more so honored to have actually won the award. First and foremost, I wish to thank our fans because without their continued love and support none of this could happen - ever, I'd like to thank the reviewers, the expert panel of judges, including Mr. Tony Cowell and the entire International Fame Games crew for their awesome support and endless dedication to bringing independent artists to the worldwide stage. I want to especially thank Sammy Hundley who, I feel, should have been named as a co-recipient of this prestigious and coveted award as well. Sammy and I wrote, recorded and routinely perform this song together but it ended up on my first solo album. We've talked about re-releasing the song on the forthcoming Parrish-Hundley project and we've also discussed capturing it live from one of the shows."

I just wanted to take a moment to thank all those who continue to vote and support my music both here at ReverbNation.com and UrLabel.net
Needless to say, we were overjoyed when the ReverbNation Country charts came out this morning and showed that we'd moved into the No. 7 position. That's a very respectable position and it simply couldn't have been done without all the wonderful support of my friends. I really and truly appreciate this awesome event that you've made happen with my music.
To put some things into perspective, to date there are 2,448 country bands on ReverbNation so you helping me attain the No. 7 position is a completely huge thing for me especially when you consider the legendary company you've put me in with. For instance, Trace Adkins is No.1 - Kenny Chesney is No. 2 - Gary Allan is No. 3 - Brandon Rhyder is No. 4 - Thom Shepherd is No. 5 - Eric Michael Hopper is No. 6 and we're at No. 7.
Thanks to all my friends here in the United States, Europe, Australia and the world abroad. I really appreciate ALL your support.
I truly hope your days are as joyous as you've made mine.
Your Friend
Mike

In the past 10 months we've had 3 songs to make the National Top 40 Charts of 7 European countries 10 times with those three tunes and, for a couple of small town country boys I'd have to say that's not a bad start," Mike commented. "Sammy and I built a studio in my home, we wrote all of the songs, we played all of the instruments, with the exception of the drums which were played by Alan Dossett and we recorded the entire album ourselves. All of the vocals are Sammy Hundley and I, including background vocals with the exception of "Angel Fly" where we brought in Desiree Singleton and Krystal Parrish (Mike's daughter) to help. Needless to say, we put a lot of hard work into this album and, if it never does anything else, it's already made a lifelong dream come true."

I really and truly appreciate this awesome event that you've made happen with my music. To put some things into perspective, to date there are 2,448 country bands on ReverbNation so you helping me attain the No. 7 position is a completely huge thing for me especially when you consider the legendary company you've put me in with. For instance, Trace Adkins is No.1 - Kenny Chesney is No. 2 - Gary Allan is No. 3 - Brandon Rhyder is No. 4 - Thom Shepherd is No. 5 - Eric Michael Hopper is No. 6 and we're at No. 7. Thanks to all my friends here in the United States, Europe, Australia and the world abroad. I really appreciate ALL your support. I truly hope your days are as joyous as you've made mine. Your Friend Mike

In the past 10 months we've had 3 songs to make the National Top 40 Charts of 7 European countries 10 times with those three tunes and, for a couple of small town country boys I'd have to say that's not a bad start," Mike commented. "Sammy and I built a studio in my home, we wrote all of the songs, we played all of the instruments, with the exception of the drums which were played by Alan Dossett and we recorded the entire album ourselves. All of the vocals are Sammy Hundley and I, including background vocals with the exception of "Angel Fly" where we brought in Desiree Singleton and Krystal Parrish (Mike's daughter) to help. Needless to say, we put a lot of hard work into this album and, if it never does anything else, it's already made a lifelong dream come true."
