Join us for a special evening of great music with Dennis W. Parker and friends on Saturday night, Oct. 4, at 7:30p in the beautiful Allen Christian Church at the Allen Heritage Village in Allen, Texas.  Dennis recently stepped down from nearly 10 years with the GRAMMY-winning Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder. Dennis has also played professionally with Lee Ann Womack, Tracy Lawrence, Joe Diffie, Mark Chesnutt, and others.   

Dennis is an amazing instrumentalist who has won state contests on fiddle, banjo, and guitar, and is one of the most soulful vocalists in music today.  He brings his smooth, relaxed style to bluegrass, country, gospel, pop, and soul music.  Dennis will sing a wide range of gospel and popular songs by artists such as James Taylor, Joe Diffie, the Stanley Brothers, Bonnie Raitt, and more, and will share the story of his life.  (D  nis Parker is no stranger working with Ricky Skaggs, being a former member of Kentucky Thunder and sharing a GRAMMY win on Ricky Skaggs’ Bluegrass Rules! album with guitar, mandolin and vocal credits on the successful release. Dennis has also played professionally with Lee Ann Womack, Tracy Lawrence, Joe Diffie, and Mark Chesnutt, among others. He is equally at home playing blues, soul, country, gospel, pop, and contemporary Christian music styles. Dennis is a master at multiple instruments including fiddle, banjo and mandolin, but favors the guitar. As a musician full of soul, it is revealed in his playing style, his vocals, and at times in his right leg! Dennis is a previous state contest winner on fiddle, banjo and guitar and has won multiple other contests in many states. As a baritone vocalist and guitarist for Kentucky Thunder, we welcome Dennis back working with Ricky and the band.
