Brandon Parr is a Texas-born guitarist/singer/songwriter with a deep connection to the acoustic folk/rock movement. His influences include Bob Dylan, Nick Drake, Ryan Adams, Derek Webb, Chris Thile, Johnny Cash, and Wilco. BEAUTIFUL CREATURES (brandonparrmusic), released October 2008, explores American tragedies, specifically the displacement and genocide of its native people. “I'm proud of this new record project. It has attitude, and features some talented friends who provided lead guitar, production, and incredible rhythm work.” Parr continues, “I wrote one song after reading about families resorting to extreme measures to make a living during the Gold Rush. There are also a couple of love songs dedicated to my wife, as well as a song written for my mother.” Parr and his wife live in College Station, Texas, where they divide their time between music, medicine, and wonderful books.
