"ONE WORLD, ONE HUMAN RACE..."
From Montreal to Los Angeles, through France, Japan and New Zealand, JAMES PARKER continues to win hearts & electrify audiences one performance at a time. "My aim is to play with passion, energy, and with as little pretension as possible in a world awash in posturing".
"GET NAKED..."
Blending folk punk, melodic rock and insightful lyrics, this solo woodshedder and former frontman/songwriter for L.A. based band Rumbletrain (members of GEFFEN recording artists Rock City Angels) came full circle recently by releasing "GET NAKED", an ode to Love dedicated to the beauty of all that is alive. Written, almost entirely performed and produced by James, the album is taking on new dimensions live as the process of finding partners and musicians for an upcoming tour evolves.
"LOVE IS PUNKER THAN PUNK..."
"Punk was about rebellion. This aphorism reflects my faith in the idea Love is the only way one can rebel against hatred... We have more in common than differences..."
"While GET NAKED was an attempt at identifying and expressing some of the experiences that have shaped my human/spiritual self, it is my aim the next album (CORE) will reconcile those experiences with who I am, and with "who I could become..."
"Freedom is a recurring theme for me. Freewill is the next step... It's only rock and roll, but words have had a huge impact on my thinking and my actions, and I cherish the possibility ideas can still affect us all. It's up to each one of us then to do with those as we choose..."
James is a former program director for Greenpeace Canada, has worked on behalf of Amnesty International and MSF, is a founding member of UNIVERSAL PEACE COLLECTIVE or UPC (also known as UP Collective - see FRIENDS), and is a member of European artist collective ADJOLOLO SYSTEM (France).
