Episode 176: Parker Millsap burst on to the folk and roots scene in 2014 out of Oklahoma with a voice beyond his years and a bold way with drawing characters from the American heartland. Raised in the Pentecostal church, he's a rare Americana singer comfortable with celebrating and critiquing the faith community that shaped his picture of humanity. On his newest Be Here Instead, Parker turns his lens more inward and in a season of socially conscious music, delivers a musically ambitious set of songs about more conventional terrain - life and love. Also, a visit with Leah Ross, director of the Birthplace of Country Music Museum and the Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion, one of the major festivals taking place in crowded, historic return to live music in America this fall.
