Joshua Foster, Parachute Musical's frontman, left Maryland and made the big move to Music City where he met guitar player Tom Gilbert. Soon Ben Jacoby and Kyle Cornett joined the band, and the rest, as they say, is history. Full of energy, depth, and creativity, Parachute Musical brings a fresh sound to the Nashville music scene. Parachute Music will be releasing a new album this Summer.
Parachute Musical is among the rare pop bands where the piano defines and drives the direction, rather than the guitar. But Foster and Gilbert have a chemistry that's featured in fluid, challenging and structurally unusual tunes. Their music is personal and intense, a reflection of such Foster favorites as Jeff Buckley and Rufus Wainwright, and his desire to pen tunes that recall events from his life.
