Music like the national parks

The National Parks is an American folk/pop band from Provo, Utah. The 4-member band consists of Brady Parks from Denver, Colorado (guitar and lead vocals), Sydney Macfarlane from Kaysville, Utah (keyboards and vocals), Cam Brannelly from Draper, Utah (drums), and Megan Taylor Parks from Draper, Utah (fiddle and vocals).

Formed in 2013, with March 15, 2013 marking the band's first public performance, their debut album, Young won them a devoted following, climbing to #13 on the ITunes singer/songwriter chart upon its release. Since that time, the band has released two additional studio albums and has sold out shows in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles.

The National Parks began as the brainchild of frontman Brady Parks. While studying Advertising Design at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, Parks began writing a collection of acoustic-heavy narrative folk tunes. After forming a group called Brady Parks and the IndiAnns for a battle of the bands at Velour Live Music Gallery, this group went on to record an album called The Mossy Mountain, which was released to iTunes and Spotify on February 24, 2012.
