Brian Parker

  After being forced to attend his older sister’s high school orchestra concerts, Brian was hooked the first time he heard the sound of a snare drum.  He received his first drum set Christmas morning of his sixth grade year.  From there, he played in a few garage bands with a couple of the neighborhood kids.  During high school, Brian continued playing drums while competing in a few battle of the band competitions.  After his 1991 high school graduation, the drums took a backseat to work and college. Years later, he performed with a few Houston area musicians where he played the local bar scene.  A few bands and a hundred beer joints later, Brian hooked up with the Mark Miller Band where he shared the stage with many pioneers and upcoming artists of the Texas Music scene.  He could be found in famous local venues such as The Firehouse Saloon, Gruene Hall, The Armadillo Palace, Blanco's, and the Continental Club.

After sharing the stage with names like Jason Boland, Randy Rogers,Corey Morrow, Kevin Fowler,Aaron Watson, Bleu Edmondson, Stoney LaRue, Brandon Rhyder and David Allan Coe, he pretty much thought that he had seen it all! Brian was introduced to Shay Domann in the winter of 2009 where he was invited to play with Shay, Bobby, and Eric with SlickHiway,  and the rest is pretty much history.
