Nik Parr’s original music is a high-energy piano-driven rock n’ roll endeavor with strong soul, funk and blues influences. Parr’s band is built around his piano playing and singing, with an ear for catchy, danceable and widely appealing new songs. The show is made even more unique, as Nik switches seamlessly from the saxophone to the piano in between singing, working the crowd, and directing his band.
For five years, Nik Parr toured with his full band under the name The Selfless Lovers. The group performed well over one-hundred shows per year. At first, these shows spanned Texas, with concerts everywhere from Lubbock and Amarillo to South Padre, Corpus Christi, San Antonio and of course, Austin. As the band progressed, they played out of state, with performances in Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Florida and Georgia in addition to their regular Texas touring.
The group’s current roster includes longtime drummer Daniel Warner, lead guitarist Keegan Flynn, bassist Evan Durr and guitarist Mishaun Bhakta. The band’s newest album “When The Bars Close,” showcases bassist Augie Gmitter in addition to backing vocals by Kelly Khun and Tory Niemann.
Opening Artist:
Wild Love Tigress

A nine-piece band complete with horns, backing singers and the full spectrum of hairstyles, Wild Love Tigress plays hard-grooving modern funk music that combines high caliber musicianship with thoughtful songwriting. They put on a high-energy live show that always gets crowds up and dancing
The band’s self-titled studio album was released in the summer of 2022, and a follow-up is due in the spring of 2024 (two singles from that album, “Bendy King” and “I Plead the Fifth”, have already been released).
