Parker McCollum

Jul 15, 2021 - 7:30 PM Holland Center Outdoors

Austin, TX based singer/songwriter, Parker McCollum may be young, but already he's established quite a name for himself in Texas country music. The album track "Meet You in The Middle" from his 2015 debut album, The Limestone Kid, became a hit on Texas' regional radio chart — no small feat for an independent, 22-year-old musician — but it was the album's widely-acclaimed follow-up, Probably Wrong, that helped Parker find national success. Compared to John Mayer and Jason Isbell by Rolling Stone, Parker supported the album with a string of sold-out shows, bringing record-breaking crowds to venues like San Angelo's RiverStage and two sold-out Billy Bob’s along the way.
