Performing primarily in Colorado, California, and the Midwest.
Recent television appearances include 5 on the ABC affiliate in Tulsa, 2023.
Briskly-paced and engaging, my show features a bluesy approach to originals and choice covers of mostly pop/rock/indie/Americana along with a fun and friendly rapport with every audience.
Once based in Colorado, I've relocated to Tulsa, OK. I play solo - vocal/guitar .
Some highlights:
I was the musical entertainment for "The Outsiders" 50th Anniversary show in Tulsa, May 6, 2017. That show included appearances by principal cast members Ralph Macchio, C. Thomas Howell, and Darren Dalton plus Deborah Foreman ("Valley Girl").

"Sunday Morning"
This week's feature video is from about 5 years ago - cover I did of "Sunday Morning" by The Velvet Underground at 4:00 a.m. in my apartment in Denver Colorado. I noticed the lighting is very similar to that on the individual head shots of the band members on that particular album. That wasn't a conscious move.

Everyday is Great
https://brianparton.bandcamp.com/album/untitled?t=1 "Everyday is Great"came along during quarantine and really gave people a lift at the handful of socially-distanced shows and on the internet.

"She's the Only One for Me"

New EP - Up-tempo and Fun!
https://brianparton.bandcamp.com/ My newest EP is available at Bandcamp. I know you will enjoy. All four songs are up-tempo, inspiring and fun, or so I'm told. "Every Day is Great" is one of my most popular songs at live shows - even the staff stops to applaud that one! "Mean, Mean Girl" is a brisk rockabilly number that I used to do with my band Brian Parton and the Nashville Rebels. "Keen on Her" and "She's the Only One for Me" are shamelessly Pop and two of my favorite songs, ever. The striking album cover was conceived by my graphic artist daughter Kelsey.

Can You Dig It? More about "Perry Mason"
After a day of writing and tending to the administrative side have my entertainment operation, the M-F 10:30pm-12:30am Central Time TV block of Perry Mason and two Seinfelds is something I look forward to with glee everyday. Having all the DVDs of both shows, sometimes I'll just do that in the same time slot and avoid commercials.

Favorite TV Theme Song
Jimmie Tramel asked a bunch of us for our favorite TV theme song (and why) in Sunday's Tulsa World (August 24, 2025). I went with Perry Mason "because it fits the show and Raymond Burr's facial expressions during the intro. Plus, the 8th-ish notes on the snare near the end of the song are pretty slick.
