LISTEN NOW : Parker McCollum says he has no intentions of writing cliché Dad songs

While catching up with Audacy’s Scott Kay at Chicago’s Windy City Smokeout over the weekend Parker shared he has zero plans to write or sing songs about fatherhood.

“No Dad songs for me,” Parker said. “I don’t want to write cliché dad songs. He went on to clarify, “If one falls out one day,” he wouldn’t fight it, but he doesn’t see himself sitting down and writing dad songs anytime soon.

While he may not be committed to writing dad songs, Parker is still very much committed to his craft while he readies to become a dad and says he’s ready to find a balance between fatherhood and his career.

“I just want to be extremely genuine and energetic, I want to make sure when these people go home, they feel like the money they spent or the money they saved up to come see you was worth every penny — that’s what I think about every night.”
