Band/artist history
My name is Jerry Lynn Parks, I was born in Radford, VA. and now reside in the beautiful mountains of TN. I've been playing music for 46 years, I'm still kicking and still picking! I write my own songs, sing them and play all the instruments. I write Christian and Country music and occasionally write love songs. I always say "it's so much easier to write about it when you have lived it"! I was born in song with a love to carry it on from the heart of a family that believed. I come from a long line of Christian musicians. My great great Grandmother was a music teacher and played in Church. My great Grandmother also played in Church. My Grandmother, Mother and Aunt sang on the radio and also played in Church. I guess you can say the gifts of God through music have carried on in me. I have been playing music since the ripe young age of 7. My first performance was at the early age of 8 where I played for 800 people in N.N., VA. At the age of 15 I started writing and have enjoyed it ever since. As time went on I got into folk, country and bluegrass music. Around the age of 23 at a bluegrass competition in Glouster, VA I won first place as male vocalist and second place playing the harmonica. About the age of 25 I got to jam with Marty Stuart at a bluegrass festival in Williamsburg, VA. Around the age of 32 I also wrote a jingle for a country radio station in N.N. VA. I've played a lot of night clubs through the years from VA Beach to Blacksburg, VA. Later on in life I started playing through my local Church at the juvenile jail, the city farm jail and nursing homes in N.N., VA. Currently living in Elizabethton, TN and hoping to Bless others along my way. I have always said "It's God's gift and all Glory goes to God where the gift came from"
