Biography

Rick Parnell's music sprouts from the very roots of the Folk-Rock tradition and yet subtly suggests new directions and possibilities.  Introspective and captivating, listeners compare Rick Parnell most often to Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, though the comparison is more about response than sound.  George Harrison, John Lennon and Johnny Cash are also influences that often arise when describing Rick's vocal and song writing style.  

In 2008, after walking away from an enviable corporate career, Rick Parnell acknowledged to himself and his family that his true passion has always been music. Parnell decided to wade more deeply into composing and performing.  With the discipline of a business manager, and the resilience of a man whose finally found his calling, he impressed musician/producer and new found friend Graham Ronne who offered to produce a few demos for him.  The success of those first demos and the artistic communication that followed led directly to the completion of his first six-song EP.  As a broader audience discovers Rick's music, future projects are taking shape, with new opportunities to reach out even further.
