Parker McCollum comes from a no-nonsense, hard-working family. His was the sort of upbringing where if youre going to do something and youre not going to do it one-hundred percent; you shouldnt do it all. Its why this 27-year-old treats each song he writes with a painstaking level of dedication, reverence, and as he readily admits even a bit of obsession.Parker says when a particular melody, lyric or emotion tugs at him he might stay in his room for days working on it. He cant help himself.Thats because, for the Austin-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, the result is worth the painstaking process. Parker who broke out with the revealing and critically adored 2013 debut The Limestone Kid and returned with the acclaimed, Probably Wrong says, its like the songwriting muse takes over. I dont choose when it hits me, but when it does, I pay attention and its always worth the focus it asks of me.His brand new song, Pretty Heart (Aug. 30, 2019) is out everywhere now. His first release after his last album, Probably Wrong.
