The Band
Shae Parker - Vocals, Guitar
"I'm a man of many talents and a master of none", Shae says of himself. With a resume that includes, radio broadcaster & journalist, sign maker, small business owner, town councilman/vice mayor, artist & musician/songwriter his talents are quite vast, but he is a bit modest on the mastery. His musical pursuits started as a young teenager with an almost simultaneous discovery of his sister's Beatles records and his mother's guitar, the later hidden away in a closet. It was soon thereafter his grandfather taught him the banjo and Shae's musical bug was solidified. Despite any formal training Shae tried out for his High School Jazz band at the end of his junior year and earned a spot as the bass player his senior year. Soon thereafter he would join Blue and the Jaded as the bass player and keyboardist. In 2006 he formed the Church Street Project as an improvisational rock group with a revolving cast of players. By 2012 the core membership of CSP was formed and for the next 4 years enjoyed a loyal following and accolades in the local music scene. Shae has had the pleasure to play with many talented musicians over the years from Front Royal to Costa Rica, Shae's artistic talents can also find there way into his music as many of his guitars and other equipment were built by him.
