Jeffery Parker is an award winning singer/songwriter and has played guitar & mandolin professionally for many years. Starting in the mid 70's, he played with the bluegrass band "Surewood" around the Seattle area. He then moved to Alaska and worked as a solo and duo performer with Juanita Parker. With years of working at sea and on his musical journey, Jeff has honed his craft playing a large variety of musical styles. In 2003, he published a CD entitled "It's About Time" consisting of original music (and one meaningful cover) and in 2015 published a 4 song EP called "Workin' The Weather" and in 2019 released a second CD of original works named "San Juan del Puerto".
In 2011 Jeff formed the duo "Road Less Traveled" with flutist Anne McKennon and enjoyed performing in the Jacksonville, Florida area until the recent move back home to the Great Northwest.
Jeff now calls Yakima, Washington home. Playing finger style and flat-picking guitar, he can easily adapt to provide driving, toe-tapping lead or more gentle background music.
Jeff is currently performing and recording with a new band called Root Biscuit Revival, Sally Rose and Julie Conley.
In 2015 was a finalist in the Ray Lewis Mudville Music Room song writing contest and Gram Parsons Guitar Pull/River Keeper songwriting contest. His 2017 3rd place award in the prestigious Will McLean Festival New Florida Song contest is one of the best examples of Jeff's songwriting skills.
