Parker Barrow

“’Make It’ is a monster of a single. Parker Barrow have their own sound and, in Megan Kane, one of the hottest vocalists on the scene at the moment. I get the feeling that we are going to be hearing a lot from Nashville’s Parker Barrow (taken from Bonnie Parker & Clyde Barrow – the infamous Bonnie & Clyde) in the near future.” ~ Music News.com

“’Make it’ captures the band at their irrepressible best, laying down one hell of an addictive groove with added cowbell, all of which is guaranteed to get the audience moving. With talented singer Megan (part Warren Haynes, part Tina Turner) raising hell behind the microphone and a brilliantly soulful chorus that’ll have you singing along in no time, if ‘Make It’ is a sign of things to come, then the band are aiming high indeed.” ~ Sonic Abuse

“Parker Barrow’s new single ‘Make It’ announces itself with some very loud guitars… shaking to the decidedly Zeppelin honey-dipped swagger. Megan Kane’s gonna melt your heart with her impressive rock ‘n soul holler, especially over the female backing vocal assisted speedier wanton choruses that repeat licentiously. Put on repeat.” ~ RAMzine

“‘Make It’ is the Southern Rock shot of adrenaline we’ve been waiting for. With its hook-heavy riff, fierce vocals, and a band firing on all cylinders, this single solidifies Parker Barrow’s place at the top of the modern southern rock revival. ‘Make It’ is southern rock revivalism done right – fierce, fearless, and full of fire.” ~ Rock News

“Parker Barrow steals your heart and soul with their charged and thrilling take on bluesy Southern rock’n’roll. Megan Kane’s soulfully, expressive voice soars in over the top of the riff and lifts things to even greater heights. Her delivery is rich and full, the perfect Southern storyteller heading into a rip-roaring chorus interspersed with harmony backing vocals.” ~ Screaming Riffs

“Park Barrow’s rootsy vibe doesn’t exclusively lean on the past: there’s a vibrancy and vision about their work that takes on the very best that 2025 has to offer. Meanwhile Megan Kane’s teasing vocals are like a shot of your favourite Tennessee whiskey — hot, with a kick and leaving you wanting more.” ~ Rush on Rock, Track of the Week

“With a tingling ‘n’ clambering riff and a clanking jatter, this thrill-ride comes rushing to life with Megan’s roiling, velvety, firelit vocal.” ~ Raw Ramp

“If ‘Make It’ is anything to go by, it won’t be long before Nashville’s Parker Barrow becomes a household name on both sides of the Atlantic. The song has a driving rhythm, searing guitar riffs, and a thick Southern swagger that conjures echoes of vintage rock titans, but Parker Barrow never feels like a throwback act. ” ~ MNPR Magazine

Bio

Parker Barrow, the blues-infused Southern rock band led by husband and wife duo Megan Kane (vocals) and Dylan Turner (drums), supported by the formidable Alex Bender (guitar) is a powerhouse group, taking the stage by storm as anything from a 5-piece to a 10-piece band – boasting a distinctive musical style. Forged from an immediate connection, the band finds inspiration in the infamous duo of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Kane and Turner aim to infuse their music with the iconic energy of a dynamic duo, portraying a narrative where, instead of evading the law, they are a dynamic pair in pursuit of their rock ‘n’ roll dreams.

Unleashing their full creative force, the band poured everything into their inaugural 10-track album, Jukebox Gypsies, released on August 11, 2023. This collection of songs chronicles the couple’s four-year journey, from a serendipitous meeting to navigating life on the road in an RV, capturing both the highs and lows. Each song serves as a reflection of their emotions and experiences, discovering a harmonious balance amid the chaos. “One of the best parts of releasing this album was getting to hear that people are connecting with our music and hearing people talk about our music the way we talk about some of our favorite bands,” Kane and Turner gushed. “It’s been an awesome ride with this record and we’re still enjoying the wave till we reach the shore and can paddle back out for round two!”

Drawing significant inspiration from The Black Crowes, The Allman Brothers Band, Tedeschi Trucks Band, and Whiskey Myers, Parker Barrow seamlessly incorporates blues into each arrangement. The band’s true brilliance emerges in their live performances, marked by lively flights and a showcase of their grounded charisma. Turner and Kane, bound by a shared vision, genuine passion, and a love for life on the road, hold their relationship in high esteem through music and faith. As kindred spirits, they eagerly anticipate continuing to create and perform together in this next chapter of life. Whether in intimate acoustic sets or impactful full-band shows, it’s clear that the couple is precisely where they should be.

Jukebox Gypsies, a record with high praise, catapulted Parker Barrow throughout the year 2023. Rock & Blues Muse journalist Mike O’Cull applauded the album saying, “Parker Barrow absolutely swings for the fences on their 10-track debut album Jukebox Gypsies… this much-anticipated record over-delivers on all levels and should do much to jump Parker Barrow up to the highest realms of the roots rock scene. The band combines power-hungry beats, nail-tough guitars, all-pro vocals, and an impossible-to-ignore emotional fire into new rock music that comes across as genuine and true.”

The lead single from the album, “Count Your Dollars” (June 14, 2023), exemplifies the group’s energy. Bursting onto the scene with vigor, the track is a classic Southern rock hit featuring Kane’s powerful vocals and the band’s rock expertise, setting the tone for the entire record. The second single, “Desire,” (July 12, 2023), unfolds seamlessly with electric guitar and Kane’s raspy vocals, providing a subjective and passionate take on life.

Jukebox Gypsies marks a significant milestone in Parker Barrow’s musical journey and there’s nothing but greatness in store for their future.
