Jason Parker / Josh Rawlings Duo

Seattle–based trumpet/flugelhorn player and composer Jason Parker has been quietly making a name for himself as a first–call jazz, funk, R&B and rock musician.

He played in jazz and rock bands all throughout high–school and college, but put down the horn after graduation to focus on a career in radio. Starting on the midnight–6am shift at his college radio station in Los Angeles, Jason worked his way through better and better shifts in LA, Eugene and Denver, finally working his way to Program Director of a major adult rock station in Seattle. After winning the prestigious Gavin Award for A3 Major Market Program Director of the Year, Jason walked away from his promising career to turn his attention back to the horn.

Jason currently leads the Jason Parker Quartet, one of Seattle’s busiest jazz bands and partners with Josh Rawlings as a duo, he frequently sits in with many others. Since moving to Seattle 12 years ago, Jason has been featured at Bumbershoot, EMP’s Jazz in January, Summer Concerts at Chateau Ste. Michelle, and The Triple Door. Jason brings an intensity to each and every show he books, the Castle Key will be no exception.

Josh Rawlings is the type of happy go lucky musician who enjoys wearing many hats. Whether he’s entertaining audiences, composing music in a variety of styles, or booking professional musical talent around Seattle with his business J&J Music, Josh is truly at peace when he’s sharing his love of music. Recently Josh has been seen playing at the 2006 Bumbershoot and Earshot Jazz festivals. Josh continues to maintain steady on–call positions for numerous northwest groups and artists, and continues to advance with his Jazz Trio and rapidly growing music groups Soul Kata and Industrial Revelation.

Come and enjoy Jason paired with Josh Rawlings two excellent musicians who will share their passion and inspiration for their craft.
