Biography by Jason Ankeny The country-blues unit the Michael Parrish Band comprised singer/guitarist/keyboardist Parrish, guitarists Chris Hansen and Jonny Sheehan, bassist Joe Engravalle and drummer Tommy Kaelin. A Bay Area native, Parrish travelled to Chicago to tenure as the pianist for blues vocalist B.B. Odum before, at the urging of producer and folklorist Tim Duffy, moving to North Carolina to contribute to a series of blues field recordings later released as Music Maker label's audiophile blues series. After touring with the likes of Guitar Gabriel and Big Boy Henry, Parrish also appeared on seven tracks on the 1995 LP A Living Past: The Music Maker Patron Sampler, followed later that year by Came So Far and Guitar Gabriel Volume 1. He and Duffy also teamed as a folk duo, the Puritans. After touring in support of Automobility, his 1995 debut solo effort (self-released on his Geographic Records label), Parrish returned to New York City, where he formed a band comprising former Other Half members Hansen and Engraville, onetime Hatters drummer Kaelin and occasional songwriter Sheehan; after issuing their 1997 disc Beautiful Rocks, the Michael Parrish Band played several dates on the H.O.R.D.E. tour. That same year Michael made Automobility, his first solo record. David Fricke, music editor of Rolling Stone, wrote of the CD that "Parrish writes about the road as if he knows the potholes personally." Automobility featured both Spin Doctor Aaron Comess and the legendary Howie Wyeth on drums. The albums Beautiful Rocks and Christy's Big Secret followed with The Michael Parrish Band, which played on the HORDE tour and opened for Blues Traveler and the great NRBQ. Christy's Big Secret featured "Forgoing a Home", a song co-written by the late great BT bassist Bobby Sheehan, and featuring him on bass as well. Michael also recorded the critically-acclaimed duo blues piano record, One Heart, with the legendary Pinetop Perkins. Michael played piano on the great Sugar Man by Greenville, SC-based songwriter, gospel-style singer and down-home blind blues troubador Cootie Stark. Subsequent to recording with Cootie, Parrish performed on the "Winston Blues Revival" at New York's famous Knitting Factory banging on Piano behind Cootie, Beverly Guitar Watkins, Cool John Ferguson and notably on bass the inimitable Taj Mahal. As Bud Lake, Michael sang the four-word theme song to the MTV hit grossoutfest I Bet You Will, one of a string of collaborations with Actor/writer/director Morgan Spurlock which included an MPB video for the song "Money" on Christy's Big Secret, co-writing the theme song of Spurlock's early web-based "The Instant Show" and flying in tandem single-engine aerobatic stunt planes with Austin, Texas-based folksinger/pilot/spelunker and Geographic recording artist Barb MacLeod, whose aerobatically-inspired album Air Circus provided the soundtrack to a Parrish-produced, Spurlock-directed long-form video.This exquisite piece of retro music history is a sound recording in the format of a multi-track compact disc, not a vinyl record.
