John Parker has been played on NTS shows including House Call, with A Big Mistake first played on 18 December 2016.

The John Parker Band's "heart and soul" is house rockin' Blues artist John Parker, who has made his mark on the Southern California music scene and has taken Rock and Blues lovers by the ears. His blend of Hot Rock, Foot Stomping Blues and a touch of Country transmits a force of its own. Hot Rock and Blues only mildly describes what these guys have on the burner with a Blistering Guitarist, the "Lord of the Boards" and the best Rhythm Section this side of James Brown.

John was raised in the Santa Cruz area, playing for hire at age 14. He grew up loving the sounds of BB King, Django Reinhardt, Freddie King and Buddy Guy. A score of bands later, he wound up in the Atlanta, Georgia music scene where he found the blues calling. Now, he's back in California playing what he loves about Georgia the most - The Blues.

Favorite artists he has had the pleasure to perform with include Chicago Bob Nelson, Big Joe Jackson, the late Piano Red, Tinsley Ellis, Delbert McClinton, Butch Travette & the Alley Cats and Doug Kershaw. He's opened for The Beach Boys, Juice Newton, Eric Burdon, Bobby Bear and Coco Montoya.

While in Atlanta playing the Blues, he fell into the Motion Picture and Television Industry and worked both as an Actor and also as a Propmaster for several years before moving back to LA as a newlywed to further his career with new wife and Set Decorator, Lynn Wolverton-Parker, here in "Tinseltown". John ran the Fixtures Department at Paramount Pictures for several years. During his career, he has worked on some really great movies:
