Gary Parker

During a gig you should expect a very interesting and professional, high energy show. The set being currently worked on includes a lot more fast paced and upbeat instrumental pieces with some more mellow ones throughout the set to help balance things out a bit. It is geared for a more classy and fun setting.

Classical - Flamenco - Fingerstyle

Gary Parker is a Fingerstyle Acoustic Guitarist and Singer/Songwriter out of Northeast Ohio. He started his career in music back in 2007, and has been performing local wineries, art galleries and even private events and weddings ever since.​ Making his true mark and start in his career at a local open mic and coffee shop in Canton Ohio, Gary has since been featured on Radio shows, performed out of the country, and has competed in competitions such as The Fingerstyle Guitar competition in Canada and also competed in the most well known Fingerstyle Guitar Competition in the industry in Winfield Kansas, competing with the top 40 guitarists in the world that has held artists such as Tommy Emmanuel, Andy McKee, and Mike Dawes.

​​While he has been performing Folk and Fingerstyle Instrumentals for a long time, his current shift and focus has been leaning more towards the art of Classical and Flamenco Guitar; studying different pieces and slowly but surely incorporating pieces that are going to include Bach, Segovia, Beethoven, and of course his own originals with an album slated to include these pieces for release here in 2026. He is also looking to start into heavily booking for 2025 to start getting into the swing of his new set and reprotoire.
