Make It
Artist
Parker Barrow
Parker Barrow backstory
The band’s name is taken from Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow — the infamous American bank robbers who made their name during the early 1930s Great Depression.
The blues-infused Southern rock ‘n’ rollers are led by husband-and-wife duo Megan Kane (lead vocals) and Dylan Turner (drums).
A chance encounter brought Kane and Turner together in 2019 when Turner was searching for a new singer for his band.
The pair immediately hit it off and within two weeks they were on the road together in full time pursuit of a mutual musical dream.
In 2023 Parker Barrow expanded with the full-time inclusion of guitarist and musical director Alex Bender.
Debut album Jukebox Gypsies received rave reviews with lead single Count Your Dollars setting the tone for one of the albums of 2023.
The official music video for follow-up single Back To Birmingham racked up more than a million views on YouTube.
In drummer Dylan Kane’s own words
“Make It was a fun song to write.
“It allowed us to show a more playful side of the band both lyrically and musically.
“The song is a sweet concoction of heavy drums, loud guitars and screaming vocals.
“The time changes give us room to balance the groove and high energy swing feel that are both so prominent in classic southern rock ‘n’ roll.”
The verdict on Make It
Energy. Passion. Authenticity. Collective power. All of this and more is immediately evident as the captivating Make It kicks into gear.
Nothing’s forced, manufactured or twee about Parker Barrow — their heavy blues is heartfelt, high calibre music for the soul.
Alex Bender’s sweet 70-styled guitar tone evokes memories of the The Allman Brothers Band, Bad Company, Skynyrd and more.
But Park Barrow’s rootsy vibe doesn’t exclusively lean on the past: there’s a vibrancy and vision about their work that takes on the very best that 2025 has to offer.
Meanwhile Megan Kane’s teasing vocals are like a shot of your favourite Tennessee whiskey — hot, with a kick and leaving you wanting more.
Parker Barrow ooze potential and play to their myriad strengths.
Make It? Let’s hope they do.
