Dead Wax Episode 1, October 8th, 2014

Parker Millsap is the Dead Wax Epsiode 1 Artist of the Week (Wednesday, October 8, 2014). We'll play 3 tracks from his new, debut record "Parker Millsap". This 21 year old Oklahoman plays a stripped-down blend of gospel, blues, and old-time rock and roll. He was featured last month with his three piece band on NPR Music and gave a nice question and answer session (http://www.npr.org/blogs/therecord/2014/09/11/347466848/an-emerging-voice-of-americana-and-oklahoma). In the interview, Parker says that his vocal idols are "Tom Waits, Howlin' Wolf, Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles and Freddie Mercury". These influences are all apparent. He was in San Francisco last weekend to perform at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, if you were lucky enough to see him.
