Event Details

Ethan Parker
As simple as lyrics and lullabies, Ethan Parker is developing into a singer/songwriter sensation. His most loved experience musically is that feeling of the fall -- those thoughts of letting go and the fullness of the heart in it all.

Raised in Memphis, TN, Parker's creative influences stem from his foundational upbringing being a son of a preacher, with his mom being his piano teacher.

His body slammed into the windshield, launched 10 feet into the air and crashed into the pavement. His back was snapped, his spinal cord severely damaged and his left forearm torn open. It was April 27, 2016, and his life was forever changed.

The following year consisted of intense, full-time physical therapy and rehabilitation at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, where David focused all of his efforts on regaining any possib
