Cattleman, horseman, and musician, J Parson not only sings about the West—he lives it.
He grew up in Bakersfield, CA and has worked in the ranching business for most of his life. At various times he has run cattle from the Carrizzo Plains to the Mojave Desert in California. He also raises quality ranch horses and has been involved in the farming business in the San Joaquin Valley. J now splits his time between his ranch in California and his farm in southeast Kansas.
Drawing on his personal experiences of life on the ranch as well as his deep respect of the all-time greats — Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Marty Robbins, and Waylon Jennings — J creates an authentic cowboy and old-time country music sound that has been widely appreciated throughout the West. Whether he is performing traditional Cowboy standards, good old honky tonk tunes, or songs that are all his own, his listeners not only hear the music, they feel it, and appreciate it.
