Parmalee Aims to Extend Wave of Hits With New Album: ‘We Like to Make People Feel Good’


Parmalee talks about creating the group's new album 'Fell In Love With A Cowgirl,' the inspirations for their harmonies and more.

The North Carolina-born brothers, alongside their Parmalee bandmates, their cousin Barry Knox (on bass) and Josh McSwain (on guitar/keys), are also tasked with extending their hot streak of recent chart hits. Listening to Parmalee’s carefully sculpted harmonies surrounding Matt’s high-flung lead vocals easily conveys the influence of vocal-forward groups from the rock, R&B and Americana worlds. They connected with the “I Am Not Okay” hitmaker more than a decade ago, long before Jelly Roll signed with BBR Music Group and broke through in the country space with songs like “Son of a Sinner.”
