Parker McCollum won't be pigeonholed, and that's by design -- the Texas native is all about paving his own road. He spent his summers working on a cattle ranch for his blue-collar grandfather, who also introduced him to country music. Hearing George Strait's "Amarillo by Morning" for the first time, McCollum was struck. "That is still, to this day, one of my favorite songs, favorite melodies of all time," he told Billboard in 2020. By 13, McCollum began writing songs; by 16, he began playing clubs. For inspiration, he turned to Texas troubadours like Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, Guy Clark, and James McMurtry, lyrical writers who built rich worlds and characters in the confines of a single song. After graduating from high school, McCollum headed to Austin, Texas, the self-proclaimed "Music Capital of the World." A stint in college didn't last -- McCollum spent more time in class writing songs than paying attention. Dropping out, he made a promise to his father: One day, I'll sign a major record deal.
McCollum worked the red dirt circuit for years, playing empty bars that slowly began filling up. He released his first full-length album, The Limestone Kid, on his own label in 2015. McCollum wrote nine of the 11 tracks himself. The Austin Chronicle said, "It's too early to declare The Limestone Kid debut of the year, but it's already one to beat." His follow-up, the self-released Probably Wrong: Session One, was McCollum's first to hit the Billboard charts. Then, after five years of full-time touring, McCollum made good on his promise, signing with Universal Music Group.
"Pretty Heart," his first single with UMG, went straight to the top of the country charts. It appears on his album, Gold Chain Cowboy, the title reflecting McCollum's desire for success -- a man that's earned enough to wear a gold chain -- with the down-home appeal of living as a simple cowboy, just like his grandfather. Chances are, Parker McCollum will have a little of both. After winning New Male Artist of the Year at the 2022 American Country Music Awards, an exciting future awaits.
Great show at a great venue. Dos Equis has to get the restroom situation corrected!!
Great time and the Dos Equis Pavilion is a fun venue for a Parker kind of concert.
From the time we walked in, to the time we left, great venue, great concert, great time.....had both adult daughters, my wife and a bunch of friends.
Parker was AMAZING. But the set up of everything was a mess. I had never sweated that much in my life by just sitting, and the women’s bathroom was 10xs hotter, they had fans yet they weren’t on? It was so extremely hot and no bathrooms to see if your make up was running. It’s Texas, prepare for the heat!!! And $16 for a beer is the most crazy price to pay for.
Parker was fantastic. Getting in and out of venue was awful. I will not be back to see anyone. Other venues so much easier.
Only one problem… it’s over! The best EVER!! We traveled 10 hours from Alabama to see Parker McCollum and WE would do it again!
Concert was amazing!! The venue however doesn’t have any ventilation for fans for the first 10 rows!
Parker put on an outstanding show! We’ll definitely see him again!
It was really hard to hear when Parker was just talking of you were sitting out on the lawn. But no complaints about Parker’s singing. He sounds just as good live as he does recorded.
Great entertainment from both groups: Andrew Jannakos with his first concert band, and Parker McCollum with his fine musicians
This was my first time at Whitewater Amphitheater. The venue location is absolutely beautiful; close to Canyon Lake, the surrounding trees create a picturesque atmosphere. Nothing like being out in the country for a country music concert. This was also my first time seeing Parker McCollum in concert. What a blast! His voice was on point and so was the band. Parker radiated with energy, spirit, and heart while belting out each of his songs. And he made it look easy. I look forward to seeing him perform again in the future. Unfortunately, the group I went with wasn't much fun and I had to leave with them before I heard any encore songs. Parker was still on stage when we walked out. Ugh, so rude. I may have shed a tear. Thank you to Parker McCollum, the rest of the band, and Whitewater for a truly memorable time. I'll be back.
Well organized & clean. Was disappointed that those who purchased vip didn’t get to meet Parker McCollum
Came to see the opener and other than a few too many love songs was impressed by PArker McCollum's show. Liked the covers, good banter, good musicians, good vocals, in my opinion just need a little more variety in the songs, looking forward to seeing what hes got coming this year.
The house of blues is a great venue and great atmosphere. Drinks were cold but also being served to underage kids who were obnoxiously drunk and proceeded to disturb the concert for everyone around them. Parker McCollum is truly talented and it was an amazing show. Just wish I could have enjoyed it without the stupid kids
One of the best concerts I've ever seen at HOB. Parker is going to do BIG things.
Temple Live is a great venue. Parker put on a great show. He was very interactive with the crowd. Excellent show!!!
