PARMALEE
with Jack Wharff & The Tobacco Flatts
Parmalee
Known for their distinct family harmony, irresistible melodies, and sure-fire radio favorites, Parmalee has not-so-quietly become one of the genre’s most undeniable contemporary country hitmakers. With three consecutive #1 singles in as many years, they have more chart-toppers than any other group in country music. The group – comprised of brothers Matt Thomas (guitar/lead vocals) and Scott Thomas (drums),
along with their cousin Barry Knox (bass) and life-long friend Josh McSwain (guitar) – has accumulated more than 1 billion on-demand streams and four total No. 1 country radio singles.
Most recently, they topped the charts with “Girl In Mine,” which was named Billboard
Magazine’s 8th Most Played Country Song of 2023. That song was the follow-up to Billboard’s Most Played Country Song of 2022, “Take My Name.” The band landed a multi-platinum smash in 2020 with “Just The Way,” a collaboration with Blanco Brown. In September 2023, Parmalee released For You 2, an 18-song deluxe version of their 2021 album For You.
The band attributes their longevity to a decade spent playing together with no measurable success, just the love of playing music for fans. They learned who each other truly was, so they knew who they were standing beside when their dreams became reality in Nashville. The same is true when they go into the recording studio. The men trust their gut when choosing songs and are confident what will connect with their fan base. With determination as strong as it was when they first started playing together and 18 songs ready to release to the world, Parmalee is poised to take the next steps in their sky-rocketing career. They have no regrets. “We just love to play,” Josh said. “We love to tour. We love the live connection. Our dream was just to play music for a living. Anything more than that is a bonus.”
