John Parker - a brief biography - by Max Michaels

John Parker is indeed what you would call a "veteran" of the entertainment business. Born and raised in central Pennsylvania, he was encouraged by his grandparents -his grandfather a concert violinist, his grandmother a trained vocalist/pianist. From age three until he was twelve, John studied classical piano. As a high school student, John studied extensively under the nationally acclaimed Dr. David Berlin, (noted theory, composition, and electronic music expert) performing concurrently with various basement bands on keyboards, and doing, as he puts it, "a little" singing.

In college John studied business, and performed in his first of many professional bands - playing mostly on weekends in bars and nightclubs. During college, John took to the road, playing keyboards and singing with his band "GIMIX", and later with a band of his own name. This band performed Hotels, Nightclubs, and Casinos throughout the world, and earned a reputation as one of the East Coast's most talented acts.

In the very late 80's, John auditioned and appeared on the television program "Star Search" as a solo vocalist, prompting numerous other appearances, as well as various articles about him, as well as notoriety in the highly competitive studio singing business. It was at this time that John was picked up by several Pittsburgh and New York Talent agencies to do photographic modeling, television commercials, and various singing recording session work. Today John can be seen as a representative for local, regional & national concerns, heard on many radio advertisements, as well as seen on television in various capacities.

Given his notariety on the private party scene, John Parker in the 21st century is available for special events and very limited public appearances only. Upscale Resorts, Corporations, Party planners, and Convention programmers alike call upon John and his band to perform when quality entertainment is the watchword. Whether performing romantic selections, to hard hitting Big-Band tunes, to Top-40 dance smashes, people who appreciate great music , great singing and a fun, energetic, party inspiring performance appreciate the "JOHN PARKER BAND".

Another great feature of John's band is its great versatility. You can pick your favorites off of the band's song list, and even pick your own "special request" for that favorite someone. Also the band comes standard at eight to eleven pieces, or be especially tailored to your needs from five up to fourteen pieces, given advance notice. Any way you slice it, John Parker is the quality entertainment choice -and is looking forward to performing for you!!!
