Our very own John Parker was featured in Whirl Magazine– Greater Pittsburgh’s Premier Lifestyle Magazine last month!

 

“Parker is the picture of style and class as both an entertainer and an emcee”, boasts the article, referencing John and his band’s performing at thousands of events!

John discusses the importance of personalizing music to each wedding; it’s not always about “new” music, but rather about meaningful music– performed by a great wedding band, of course!
