Nik Parr & the Selfless Lovers at the Buddy Holly Center’s Summer Showcase 2022
Nik Parr & the Selfless Lovers will be at the Buddy Holly Center’s Summer Showcase Concert Series on Thursday, August 18, 2022.
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 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.
Since 2019, Nik and his band have shared the stage with nationally renowned funk, soul, and blues acts such as Big Sam’s Funky Nation, Ripe, Turkuaz, The Suffers, Black Joe Lewis, Eric Tessmer, Carolyn Wonderland, The Peterson Brothers, Miss Mojo, Los Coast, Roxy Roca, The Commonheart, and Flow Tribe.
Nik and his band’s 2020 release “When the Bars Close,” has been featured on Austin City Limits Radio, Texas Tech College Radio 88.1, Texas State College Radio KTSW, 512 Radio, Georgetown radio 106.7, JUTX Austin, Good Morning Austin, 512 Studios Live Sessions, 94.7 Corpus Christi, and The Austin Music Foundation.
