Exclusive track premiere of ‘Waves’ by Parker Smith, taken from the upcoming album ‘Short Street,’ set for release on June 7, 2024.

Parker Smith’s latest album, ‘Short Street,’ is a thoughtful journey through life’s ups and downs, laced with breezy Americana vibes and a touch of humor. Amidst its eight tracks, ‘Waves’ stands out as a song about letting go of material things and embracing the deeper meanings in life, with Don Henley-esque warmth and jangly guitar solos that evoke summer sunsets.

The album’s title reflects the sense of place and belonging, as ‘Short Street’ references neighborhoods in Smith’s native Atlanta, grounding the record in a familiar landscape. Throughout the album, Smith’s songwriting feels like a conversation with a close friend, inviting listeners to share in stories of growing up, love, and loss.

The musicianship, highlighted by pedal steel and sweet guitar melodies, complements Smith’s soothing vocals and creates a comfortable space for reflection and nostalgia.
