Reid Parsons

Jazz-inflected Americana with heart, grit, and groove

BIO:

Reid Parsons is a Vermont-born singer-songwriter whose music blends soul, folk, blues, and jazz-inflected Americana into something both grounded and expansive. Her debut full-length album, Back to Back, released in April 2025, has been praised for its “dynamic and eclectic approach to Americana” and described as “a tasteful tapestry of folk, soul, and chamber pop.” Written, arranged, and produced by Parsons, the record moves fluidly between intimate ballads and groove-driven full-band tracks, creating what critics have called an “intimate conversation” rich with emotional depth and warmth.

Influenced by artists like Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams, and Frazey Ford, Parsons brings a fearless, genre-blurring sensibility to her songwriting and performances. Whether solo or backed by a band, her shows are marked by expressive vocals, sharp musicianship, and what one outlet called “architectural folk”—songs that balance subtle complexity with soul, space, and resonance.

With over 30 years of performing together in multiple genres Eric Bushey and Justin Bedell have what you could certainly call a "connection." This duo knows no boundaries genre-wise. A fiddle tune is just as likely to be followed by Wayne Shorter's "Footprints" as it is by a Jimi Hendrix tune played on Bushey's replica 1853 fretless banjo. Justin and Eric are always trying to distill music to its essence and present that clarity with whatever instrument they happen to be playing in that moment.
