About Me


Freddy Parish was born in the number nine car just before it derailed in the infamous train wreck of 1983, in Pine City, Wyoming. His survival of this tumultuous and near death birth experience left him with a reckless need-for-speed and a keen taste for pyromania, setting everything in his path on a fast track to crash and burn, so that "it can be born." Sometimes accompanied by the Lost Dog Jamboree, an elusive pack of hungry and death-defying carney-vores, Freddy Parish has toured the western states without blinking, and has been on bills with such acts as Phil Roebuck, John Courage, Emily Jane White, Marco Mahler, and Mori.
Summer 2008 Tour dates will be posted shortly.
"Look at that pine cone, burnt to the bone. Now its seeds are free to grow. Don't you know how trees grow? Sometimes they've all got to burn."
"Ghosts in the Garbage" LP CD
Available by mail. $10 includes shipping.

"Smokey and atmospheric like a late night diner and the smell of burnt coffee, Parish’s songs are real — almost too real for the idealistic college town he calls home. As only a man with long hair and tired eyes can, Parish has the rare ability to tell it like it is."
