Originally from Jacksonville, Florida, now living in Savannah, Georgia, Walter Parks has created his own vibey atmospheric musical travelogue through southern swampy blues, jazz, folk and classical. Soulful vocal lows and highs rest atop a beautifully over driven vintage jazz guitar that gently cuts the fog of real tape echo and tube amp tremolo. Walter paints a sonic picturedrome of classic Americana landscapes that inspire the modern human spirit to find a place where it can flourish.

Taking full advantage of rare breaks from his touring work of nine years with Woodstock legend Richie Havens, Walter performs solo and with his electric bayou/ragtime band called Swamp Cabbage. Zoho Roots.

Walter has performed thousands of concerts all over the world from southern honky tonks to the Glastonbury Festival in England to Carnegie Hall and Madison Square Garden in New York. In the fall of 2010, the nationally distributed Wildflower records, Judy Collins’ label, will release Walter’s first solo recording.
