Parker Millsap Staff Pick

Since leaving the Pentacostal church he was raised in while growing up in the small town of Purcell, Okla., raspy-voiced troubadour Parker Millsap doesn't denounce or praise his religion in his music. Instead, he explores the often-complicated relationship people have with faith and God through objective character studies, as heard on his twangy, folksy self-titled debut album, released in February. For example, in chicken-fried country-rocker "Truck Stop Gospel," an evangelical trucker drives with a crucifix hanging from his rearview mirror and casts a demon out of a prostitute. But not all the tales are tall; in the minimal "Forgive Me," Millsap croons sincerely, "Please forgive me for the sinner I am," with a voice that has more emotion and battle-weary depth than his 21 years might suggest. John Fullbright and Elephant Revival will also perform. (Kolbie Stonehocker)
