By on March 14, 2025

Reid Parsons’ debut album, Back to Back, set for release on April 25th, feels like an intimate conversation—quiet, introspective, and revealing. Parsons skillfully weaves themes of love, distance, and connection, crafting songs that resonate deeply. The title track, “Back to Back,” exemplifies this approach, delicately exploring the balance between closeness and independence within relationships through soothing melodies and evocative lyricism.

Recorded direct-to-tape at Burlington’s renowned Tank Recording Studio by acclaimed engineer Ben Collette, Parsons’s music offers an organic, analog warmth that enhances the emotional depth of each song. The simplicity of Parsons’s lyrical and musical arrangements allows the listener to easily connect with their narratives, feeling both comforted and understood.

Parsons’s artistry is deeply shaped by their Vermont roots, drawing inspiration from the state’s beauty and tranquility. Growing up in Moretown, they cultivated a musical identity rich with influences ranging from classical to blues and jazz. This eclectic background shines throughout the album, highlighting Parsons’s versatility and creativity as a songwriter.

To experience Parsons’s music live, listeners can attend their performance at Shelburne Vineyard on March 28th, a perfect setting to immerse oneself in Parsons’s heartfelt storytelling and acoustic warmth.
