David Bixby has called Lefty Parker “a troubadour and a poet.” Hailing from Austin, Texas, Parker has toured dive bars and halls across the country since 2019, collaborating with artists including Aaron Blount of Knife in the Water, Mat Davidson of Twain, and Buck Meek of Big Thief. He released 13 in 2024 and Ark in 2025. Now based in Brooklyn, Parker continues to write and perform with his band.
