“Interstate EP” features the Chris Parker original “Here To Stay”, and shares songwriting credits in “Aires (De Chacarera)” with Spanish composer Tabaré Muzio and Rodrigo Cotelo.

These compositions serve as musical foils in many ways, while both contributing to painting a musical picture of Parker’s time commuting between his native home of Bloomington, Indiana and New York City.

The record features some of his favorite musical collaborators from both regions. The fiery, explosive sounds of clarinetist Frank Glover in "Aires", and the unique tone and inflections of guitarist Brandon Coleman in "Here to Stay" give this record moments of extreme intensity.

Vocalist Olivia Chindamo brings a unique tonal palette to the melody, vocal improv, and chorale sections of “Here To Stay”. Scott Pazera and Parker hold down the rhythm section and provide the music with immense color and direction.
