It’s that time again. Time to give thanks and give back.

Thanks – Thank you to our friends, fans, and families for coming to shows, buying stuff, and just being there for Parks and Records over the years.

Give back – This year Parks and Records is giving a percentage of sales to the following awesome organizations:

National Parks Conservation Association – Protecting our parks

National Park Foundation – Inspiring generations of national park enthusiasts

Marin County Bicycle Coalition – striving for 20% of all trips in Marin to be made by bicycling or walking by 2020

This marks the 8th year of Parks and Records and we are just getting warmed up.

See you all in 2015 as we start the year with our 10th release – The Things of Youth, Volume One.

Happy Holidays!

Phil Collins, going for it.

Phil Collins, going for it.

I recently asked all the musicians on Parks and Records to send me some listening recommendations.

 

This is not some snobby, nose-upturned list of bands we think are cool and that you should like.

 

This is not a list of bands we want to be associated with ( I honestly don’t know half of them…)

 

This is music that we have been listening to lately for relaxation and inspiration. This is what Silian Rail is listening to from the comforts of their touring station wagon.

Macy (B. Hamilton)
