Jeff Parker was
born in 1961 and began playing guitar
at age six.
His father (Vester Parker)
was a musician at the Renfro
Valley Barn Dance. At
age 12, Jeff saw his first live
performance of the Russell
Brothers and
was amazed with the mandolin. Harold
Russell lent Jeff a
mandolin, and he started playing
that instrument
with his family band, Sounds
of Gospel. Jeff's first
professional gig was as a fill-in
mandolin
player for Larry Sparks on
a Renfro Valley show. At age
19,
Jeff and other friends formed
a band called Train 45 that played
for a couple of years. At age
25, Jeff was hired as a full
time staff musician at Renfro
Valley. He worked there until
1994. From 1995-2001, Jeff, his
brother Mike, Terry Wolfe,
and David Osborne played
in the band Wilderness
Trail. In 2001,
Jeff auditioned with the Lonesome
River Band, and he was
their mandolin player and
singer until joining The Dailey
and Vincent band where he has
found
a happy home since.
