Parachute Musical

Parachute Musical is a powerful piano-rock quartet that combines Afro-Cuban, ragtime, jazz and Latin influences to create a unique blend of pleasing pop tunes. Parachute Musical was formed in 2005 by Josh Foster (piano, vocals) with current members Tom Gilbert (guitar) and Ben Jacoby (drums) in Washington, DC where they recorded their first self-titled album. After a shuffle of members in the years that followed, Foster, Gilbert and Jacoby reunited in 2007 in Nashville, TN and were joined by Kentucky-born Kyle Cornett (bass) to form the current line-up. This time, the fit was perfect and the timing was right. Parachute Musical immediately gained a following of fans in Nashville’s growing rock scene and generated interest as a stand-out act among Music City media. Radio play on Nashville’s Lightening 100 quickly ensued and Parachute Musical found themselves on the bill for Next BIG Nashville, a music festival showcasing the area’s rock, pop, hip hop, indie and roots artists. In 2008, Parachute Musical released their highly anticipated sophomore album, “Everything Is Working Out Fine In Some Town.” The album features eclectic rhythms, carefully calculated guitar and soulful bass eloquently arranged to support Foster as he wraps music around emotionally-charged piano and gracefully written lyrics. Parachute Musical will round out 2009 working on new material to be released by the new year. Tour dates slated for 2009/2010 are featured on MySpace.com/ParachuteMusical.
