Join genre-bending guitarist and composer Parker Speirs for an evening of reimagined classics and boundary-pushing originals. Drawing on the rich catalogs of artists like Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, and The Beatles, Parker breathes new life into beloved songs through inventive arrangements that blend jazz, rock, and contemporary influences. His performance offers a fresh, vibrant take on familiar tunes—inviting listeners to hear them in a whole new way.
Parker is equally at home playing jazz standards, rock anthems, modern classical, and groove-heavy pop. Whether leading his genre-defying ensemble The Inventures or drawing on his background as a session musician for acts like The Strike, Mimi Knowles, and VanLadyLove, he brings a deep musicality and adventurous spirit to every stage. A former Artist in Residence at Strathmore, Parker continues to be a standout voice in the D.C. music scene and beyond.
