Parker Barrow takes Tampa ‘Back to Birmingham’ this weekend

Parker Barrow 's debut album—last year's Jukebox Gypsies —is listed under the country music genre, when in actuality, it should be under the Americana umbrella, sounding more like a Margo Price record than a Tanya Tucker one.

On "Back to Birmingham," lead singer Megan Kane sentimentally admits that making her family proud means that she has to be away from them, while also blending a "Roll Tide" reference in, and "Long Black Train" alludes to an impending breakdown of some sort.

In short, if Lana Del Rey continues to have acts like Nikki Lane open for her, don't be too surprised if the "blues-infused Southern rock and roll" quartet's next Tampa gig (following this one, to be opened by The Ben Rogers Band) is on a bigger stage.

Tickets to see Parker Barrow play the music hall at New World Brewery in Tampa on Saturday, June 22 are still available and start at $10.
