Parker Barrow

Parker Barrow is a Blues Infused Southern Rock n' Roll Band based out of the City of Music – Nashville Tennessee. The duo of Drummer/Songwriter Dylan Turner and Front Woman Extraordinaire, Megan Kane is much like their name’s sake in the sense of being on the run; but unlike the original Partners in Crime Turner and Kane are on the run towards a dream rather than from the law. The couple intends to bring you on the journey with their eccentric mix of emotive song lyrics and eclectic melodies that are reminiscent of the powerhouse Southern Rock era of days gone by. Kane and Turner’s backgrounds in Rock, Blues, Soul and Country make their brand of music unmistakably and distinctively their own.

FOOD AT THE FEST

You remember all that stuff you learned in High School about how alcohol affects you more on an empty stomach?  Still applies!  Stop by one of our delicious food vendors for a pub grub delicacy, scrumptious BBQ, Asian-fusion creation, hot dogs, pretzels, or event a tasty dessert!
