Description:
Virginia Tech's School of Performing Arts and the Town of Blacksburg presents the 2021 Summer Arts Festival Friday Night Outdoor Concert Kickoff with Jimmy Parker on Friday, June 25, 2021 on Henderson Lawn on the campus of Virginia Tech and across from The Lyric in downtown Blacksburg, VA.

Nashville recording artist and 2018 inductee to the Independent Country Music Hall of Fame Jimmy Parker is a true-blooded country music singer. He has stayed true to his roots since he started pursuing country music for a career.

Today, he not only now sings but acts as well having appeared in the hit TV shows, "Nashville" and "Still The King,” and some movies such as “All Saints,” “Ennuati,” and “ Old Story.” He's also a star on the hit NCS (Nashville Country Stars) TV show called, "Hicksville Junction,” which can be seen on ROKU TV. He's appeared in a music video by Reba McIntyre called "Back to God."

His travels have taken him around the world. He has performed in over 28 states for House Concerts, Theaters, Casinos, listening rooms, Cafes, etc. Many people are jumping on this band wagon and getting Jimmy to come play a House Concert for them, their families, and friends. He has also performed in South Korea for the troops stationed there, and had a 12 day tour in Australia, capping that tour off with some performances in Tamworth, New South Wales, which is known as the home of the largest country music festival in the world.

When you visit any of the links below for Jimmy, sit back and take a good listen to Jimmy’s songs. You will see why so many people have started to follow him. Some of his fans have been there since day one and have bought all his music. He is unique, original, the real deal, and traditional with an edge. He is one of the nicest guys you will ever want to meet. But, be warned, because if you listen close enough, his songs have a way of just snuggling up beside you and make you think he is singing just to you.
