Parker Barrow Releases New Video ‘Back To Birmingham’
Blues infused Southern rockers Parker Barrow release their new video for the scorcher “Back To Birmingham,” a song from their debut album Jukebox Gypsies. A killer band with a powerhouse and fresh lead singer, the song reveals the band’s talent for storytelling. Megan Kane grabs this song with every ounce of soulfulness she has, digging deep.
The video for “Back To Birmingham” magnifies the heartache about having to be on the road, knowing that a beloved and ailing grandparent is left behind. Parker Barrow is not just a great band but they are thoughtful songwriters and outstanding musicians.
Husband and wife team, Dylan Turner and Megan Kane and say, “The vision for the music video honestly wrote itself as a dedication and memorial to those we had lost while out on the road trying to make our dreams come true.”
“From the moment we penned it, we sensed that this song deserved more,” Turner explains. “It was the initial song we crafted together after a few weeks on the road back in 2019. We approached it from Megan’s perspective, drawing from my own experiences of being away from home during that period. During the recording, I unexpectedly lost my grandmother. Then, just a week before shooting the music video, while performing at a dive bar in Missouri, we received the news that Megan’s grandmother had lost her battle to breast cancer. Suddenly, a song written four years ago came to life, a bit too literally, in just a matter of months.”
