Nashville-based Southern rock band Parker Barrow will return to the UK in July 2026 for five intimate club shows and a performance at Steelhouse Festival.
To mark the announcement, the band have released their new single, “Glass Eyes Cryin’”, taken from their recent EP Hold The Mash. The track is available now on all streaming platforms, alongside the full EP.
Drummer Dylan Turner describes “Glass Eyes Cryin’” as the first song written and recorded for Hold The Mash, and a turning point for the band’s evolving sound. Built around a laid-back groove and textured arrangement, the track carries gospel influences and centres on a defiant response to emotional manipulation.
Parker Barrow are led by husband-and-wife duo Megan Kane on vocals and Dylan Turner on drums. The band name references Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, nodding to outlaw mythology that mirrors the group’s independent streak.
Since forming in 2019, the band have steadily built a reputation for high-energy live shows and classic rock songwriting rooted in Southern rock, blues and soul. In 2023, guitarist and musical director Alex Bender joined full time, adding a sharper edge to their arrangements and expanding their live dynamic.
Their debut album Jukebox Gypsies drew strong critical support, while the single “Back To Birmingham” surpassed one million views on YouTube. In 2025, the band released the Hold The Mash EP, featuring “Make It,” “Novocaine” and “The Healer.” “Make It” was added to Planet Rock’s main playlist, further strengthening their UK following.
Later that year, Parker Barrow toured the UK in support of The Damn Truth, winning over new audiences with extended jams and confident stage presence.
Tickets for the July 2026 UK club shows go on sale at 10am on Thursday 19 February via Planet Rock, The Gig Cartel and the band’s official website.
With festival appearances, headline club dates and new material now in rotation, Parker Barrow continue to build momentum on both sides of the Atlantic.
