Lee Roy Parnell is part of a long line of Texas roots-music eclectics and is among the elite few who can be identified as a triple threat. An ace guitarist, as well as a distinctive singer, and hit songwriter, his music runs the gamut of diversity. Combining the influences of Blue-Eyed Soul, Delta Blues, Road House Rock, Southern Boogie, Texas Swing, and Gospel, Parnells sound defies conventional classification. He draws from a broad range of musical sources and combines them with seamless dexterity and, unlike many other hard-to-pigeonhole artists, Parnell has enjoyed a run of success on the country and blues charts. He reflects, I am a writer, guitarist, vocalist & a performer. Every skill set feeds the next. Ive never been able to separate one from the other. It all starts with the song and when writing Ive found that nothing is stronger than the truth. It is from that wellspring that my singing and playing are bornperforming, too. My goal is to keep it honest and let the listener feel what Im feeling. No matter our different walks in life I believe that most of us experience similar emotions. Im tapping into you as much as you are tapping into me.
