Parker Pressley
Parker Pressley, a native of Enka/Candler, NC just outside of Asheville, NC currently
resides in Knoxville, TN. Pressley got his start, singing in the church he attended with his
grandparents. They encouraged him to sing in church as often as possible in his early
years. As Parker became older, he did not lose his love for music. He decided to get
serious and follow his dreams and in 1993 got to work with Jimmy Snow, the son of the
great musician Hank Snow. He won his first award for singing during this time also. As
the years progressed, Parker became acquainted with some other great artists. In 2008, he
had the privilege to work with the Bellamy Brothers, and in 2010 Clinton Gregory. All of
his hard work has led to a career recording records for the Sims Record Label and in
2014, winning the New Horizon Entertainer of the Year Award for the North American
Country Music Association International (NACMAI). Pressley entertains the crowd with
covers as well as originals written by himself and fellow songwriters.
