Parachute took root in the college town of Charlottesville, Virginia, where the group honed its mix of pop/rock, funk, and contemporary blue-eyed soul under the original name Sparky's Flaw. Formed by high school students Will Anderson (vocals, guitar), Johnny Stubblefield (drums), Christopher "Kit" French (saxophone, keyboards), Alex Hargrave (bass), and Nate McFarland (guitar), Sparky's Flaw generated a healthy buzz around town and eventually became popular at the nearby University of Virginia, where they opened for Robert Randolph. After gaining more popularity with an independently released EP, 2005's One Small Step, the guys partnered with Red Light Management and later signed with Smash Records, an imprint of the recently revived Mercury Records.
Since 2006, they have been touring and promoting their music, and released their major label debut album Losing Sleep in 2009 and second album The Way It Was in 2011. The band's third album, Overnight, was released on August 13, 2013. "Wide Awake" will be the band's fourth studio album, releasing on March 11th through Vanguard Records.
I love them! So excited for their new music! I hope it’s better than Overnight.
It’s good! Even better than their previous one!
Where did you listen the whole album? ;(((((((((
