Celeb Secrets Country: What do you describe your sound to someone who hasn’t heard you yet?

Parker McKay: “I would definitely say that it is country with a little bit of rock and a bit of pop. It’s just very Parker McKay. The best fusion I could describe it is like Sheryl Crow and Grace Potter mixed together.”

Celeb Secrets Country: Who has been your favorite artist to open up for?

Parker McKay: “Sheryl Crow. That was incredible. I just think that she is the coolest chick on the planet.”

Celeb Secrets Country: What’s your favorite part about performing?

Parker McKay: “I think it’s just being able to articulate what you can’t just say in words but what you can say with a melody or what you can say with the mood of the song. You can articulate your emotions in a way that you can’t just in a normal conversation.”
