A.k.a. Ian James Parker

This is Ian Parker blues guitarist, singer/songwriter. For Ian "quince" Parker keyboardist see Ian Parker (1). In his early teens he began to focus heavily on electric guitar after hearing the music of Jimi Hendrix and Cream. From here Parker became passionately interested the blues, studying the music and its history at every opportunity. In 2003 he recorded his debut album, Inside[1] for the German blues label Ruf Records. He went on to release a further three albums and two live DVDs through the company. In addition to his interest in the blues, Parker has always considered himself to be a singer-songwriter. His influences are far-ranging and his music has largely revolved around a balance between his song-writing and his blues guitar playing. His most recent recording, a five track EP called Demons and Doubters[2] released through Equator Music,[3] marked a subtle change in direction away from blues-rock towards a more mainstream guitar-lead singer-songwriter identity.
