Parker McCollum won't be pigeonholed, and that's by design -- the Texas native is all about paving his own road. He spent his summers working on a cattle ranch for his blue-collar grandfather, who also introduced him to country music. Hearing George Strait's "Amarillo by Morning" for the first time, McCollum was struck. "That is still, to this day, one of my favorite songs, favorite melodies of all time," he told Billboard in 2020. By 13, McCollum began writing songs; by 16, he began playing clubs. For inspiration, he turned to Texas troubadours like Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, Guy Clark, and James McMurtry, lyrical writers who built rich worlds and characters in the confines of a single song. After graduating from high school, McCollum headed to Austin, Texas, the self-proclaimed "Music Capital of the World." A stint in college didn't last -- McCollum spent more time in class writing songs than paying attention. Dropping out, he made a promise to his father: One day, I'll sign a major record deal.
McCollum worked the red dirt circuit for years, playing empty bars that slowly began filling up. He released his first full-length album, The Limestone Kid, on his own label in 2015. McCollum wrote nine of the 11 tracks himself. The Austin Chronicle said, "It's too early to declare The Limestone Kid debut of the year, but it's already one to beat." His follow-up, the self-released Probably Wrong: Session One, was McCollum's first to hit the Billboard charts. Then, after five years of full-time touring, McCollum made good on his promise, signing with Universal Music Group.
"Pretty Heart," his first single with UMG, went straight to the top of the country charts. It appears on his album, Gold Chain Cowboy, the title reflecting McCollum's desire for success -- a man that's earned enough to wear a gold chain -- with the down-home appeal of living as a simple cowboy, just like his grandfather. Chances are, Parker McCollum will have a little of both. After winning New Male Artist of the Year at the 2022 American Country Music Awards, an exciting future awaits.
It was a great time. Awesome concert. Very clean place.
Parker is so good with everything he does. He makes sure to make eye contact throughout the crowd and his voice is amazing! ***Ashley Cooke was really good too!! She’s adorable and love her voice. I’m glad to see she’s doing so well. She deserves it!! Addition Financial Arena in Orlando was a great place to see a concert except for the availability of restrooms. Everything else was perfect.
Highly recommend anyone to see Parker McCullom. Not only is his music great he is very humble & personable. The most interactive with the floor audience I have ever seen!
Opening act Ashley Cooke was amazing! She started before the posted show time start so many people were put off by that and it caused to miss the first song or two (which is a lot when it’s an opening act??). The switching between band sets was way too long. I’ve been to many concerts and this was by far the longest set changes. Between each and every one, it was a little ridiculous. Parking was simple and with ease. Overall good experience with just a few disappointments.
The floor was amazing! It had a bar only the floor could access which was great and the staff were amazing at walking you to the seat because i would been lost without them.
Completely enjoyed the show! Love Parker McCollum!! Ashley was great.
This was our third time seeing Parker in the last two years. Previously we drove to pompano beach and then to the strawberry festival. This was the best show by far. The stage set up and sound was great. Set list was damn near perfect and our seats were amazing. I will always be down for another Parker show!
Parker, Chase and Ashley put on an amazing night. High energy great interaction with the audience. Lights, music energy everything was on point. Burn it down Tour left us wanting more!!
Parker was great and engaged the crowd a lot. Baby gender reveal was sweet.
Venue is decent but they need to do better organizing crowds and purchasing tables and food counters. People were everywhere cutting lines and officers yelling to stand along the walls. Had there had been a single way in and up and a designated roped off section for merch and food it could have been better crowd control
