Nik Parr & The Selfless Lovers
A piano-driven rock n' roll band showcasing an energized retro sound, fantastic musicianship and danceable original songs
Soul; Jazz
Solo, Full Band 4-7pc
“The thing about Nik is that he’s not only mastered double duties on vocals and piano, he also manages to juggle some sax in there too, all without breaking a sweat. Along with his outfit The Selfless Lovers, Nik’s stayed up to par with Austin’s longstanding legacy as a hub for blues rock. But true to their title, The Selfless Lovers go above and beyond by touching on erogenous zones of classic soul, southern, and funk, positioning their style basically wherever listeners want it the most.“ —KUTX
BIOGRAPHY
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 new 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.
For five years, Nik Parr toured with his full band under the name The Selfless Lovers. The group performed well over one-hundred shows per year. At first, these shows spanned Texas, with concerts everywhere from Lubbock and Amarillo to South Padre, Corpus Christi, San Antonio and of course, Austin. As the band progressed, they played out of state, with performances in Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Florida and Georgia in addition to their regular Texas touring.
The group’s current roster includes longtime drummer Daniel Warner, lead guitarist Keegan Flynn, bassist Evan Durr and guitarist Mishaun Bhakta. The band’s newest album “When The Bars Close,” showcases bassist Augie Gmitter in addition to backing vocals by Kelly Khun and Tory Niemann.
