At 26 years of age, Oklahoma native Parker Millsap is quickly making a name for himself with his captivating live performances, soulful sound, and character-driven narratives. He’s had a string of highlights in recent years including his network television debut on CONAN, a performance with Elton John at the Apple Music Festival in London, an Austin City Limits taping and an Americana Music Association nomination for Album of the Year. He has also received praise from The New York Times, The Boston Globe, LA Times, Austin Chronicle and Rolling Stone to name a few.
He first picked up an acoustic guitar at nine, then plugged in and went electric after getting into Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan, eventually starting a cover band with classmate, Michael Rose who still plays bass with him today. Over the years he recruited musicians Daniel Foulks (fiddle) and Andrew Bones (Drums) to join his band.
Parker’s first three full-length releases – 2012’s Palisade, 2014’s self-titled LP, and 2016’s The Very Last Day – showcased a primal mastery of acoustic folk rock, with their flourish for revelation and fiery dynamics, all recorded with extreme precision, purpose and efficiency.
Parker’s newest album, Other Arrangements, (released 5/4/18 via Thirty Tigers) finds him taking bold steps in new directions. Associated press says “Parker Millsap rocks harder than ever on his fourth album.” And Rolling Stone calls Other Arrangements Parker’s “tightest, sharpest and most infectious set of songs to date.”

With his fiery guitar and lap steel playing, his trailblazing, instantly memorable songs
and gritty, unvarnished vocals, Selwyn Birchwood is among the most extraordinary
young stars in the blues. His deep familiarity with blues tradition allows him to bust the
genre wide open, adding new sounds, colors and textures, all delivered with a revival
tent preacher’s fervor and a natural storyteller’s charisma. Since the 2014 release of his
Alligator Records debut, Don’t Call No Ambulance, Birchwood’s meteoric risefrom
playing small Florida clubs to headlining international festival stages is nothing short of
phenomenal, as he continues to set the contemporary blues world on fire. The album
received the Blues Music Award andLiving BluesCritics’ Award for Best Debut AlbumOf 2014,
and he won the 2015 Blues Blast Rising Star Award.
Selwyn and his bandhave crisscrossed the U.S. and Europe repeatedly, delivering unforgettable live
performances. With his new album ,Pick Your Poison Birchwood, along with his band
saxophonist Regi Oliver, bassist Huff Wright and drummer Courtney “Big Love”Girlie
takes a major step forward, crafting visionary blues for a new generation offorward
looking fans. Birchwood, who attacks his guitar and lap steel with searing intensity, wrote
and produced all 13 songs on Pick Your Poison His richly detailed, hard
hitting originals run the emotional gamut from the humorously personal My Whiskey Loves My Ex
to the gospel inflected Even The Saved Need Saving to the hard truths of the topical
Corporate Drone and Police State to the existential choice of the title track.
The cutting edge songs are made all the more impactful by Birchwood’s gruff vocals, his untamed
musicianship and his band’s seemingly telepathic accompaniment.
“I write and sing what I know,” says Birchwood, whose innovations are as expansive as his influences.
“This album has a broad reach. It’s for young, old and everyone in between.”
According to Alligator Records president Bruce Iglauer, who signed Birchwood to the label
shortly after the bluesman won the 2013 International Blues Challenge and also
the Albert King Guitarist Of The Year Award at the same event, “Selwyn writes smart,
infectious, fresh songs and delivers them with a warm, conversational vocal style and a
fun loving attitude. He’s a killer guitarist, switching between a regular six string and lap steel.
Live, he’s a ball of energy, interacting with the audience like they were in his living room.”
Birchwood’s high octane blues at once deeply rooted, funky and up
to the minute are played with passion and honest emotion.
