Rick Parnell is a Canadian singer/songwriter walking a road less traveled. Vacating an enviable corporate career to pursue a passion for song, his music sprouts from the very roots of the Folk-Rock tradition and then subtly suggests new directions. Introspective and captivating, his songs most frequently evoke comparisons to Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and George Harrison. John Lennon and Johnny Cash are influences that also arise when describing Rick's vocal and song writing style ... Complex yet catchy lyrical phrases, solid melodies and impressionistic storytelling.
Band line-ups are built around Rick Parnell on rhythm and vocals, and have for recordings included Hart Parnell on lead guitar, Ian Lopez-Ganoza on bass and backing vocals and Terry Martyniuk on percussion, and other guest musicians. Live configurations depend on the venue and availability of musicians.
