About Me

How do you make Parsnip soup?
Just add a Cali-bred hippie songwriter, a yoga guru capable of some crazy stretches and drum fills, a former metal head bass player, and an obsessive compulsive Jerseyite who has a different guitar every week. While it may not sound like the tastiest of ingredients, added together they actually make a savory dish.
Since 2005, the band has revolted against the mundane sounds of modern music and crafted a truly original sound filled with emotion and melodic purity, having honed their sound in the sixty plus shows they've played to date. Despite a collective maturity level peaking at about age 14, they've somehow managed to create a solid collection of honest songs. Music that can be comfortably played acoustically for Geremiah's cat or rocked out with Brianâ€™s grooving bass and Jake's electric guitar. And Doug? He can break out the bongos, full kit, or mean veggie-burger anytime! So if you're hungry, check out The Parsnip Revolt...the sounds are fresh and the ingredients are just right!
