Meet your Host

The DBA has teamed up with Jack Parker to host the 6-week series of our new top summer music experience. Jack (he/him) is a songwriter and producer living in the sleepy Pacific Northwest town of Bremerton, WA. He uses simplistic hooks and guitar-based soundscapes to make sad, yet hopeful Americana songs. Previous efforts include playing guitar with Bremerton punk legends MxPx, alt-country band Tumbledown, and southern-style rock band Rocky Point All-Stars (and many more!). Both his solo and full band (Jack Parker and The Remedy) performances have been described as engaging, energetic, and gritty.
