Kelly Parkes – "Girl With A Fishing Rod"
Kelly Parkes is back with her new single “Girl With A Fishing Rod,” which is full of hooks designed to reel in listeners (Get it?). Written by Adrienne and Keith Follese with Victoria Shaw and Hillary Scott, the song speaks to the special appeal of the backwoods beauties who know how to land a big fish. The song is available on CDX No. 520 and Play MPE.
The feisty 23 year-old from rural Lancaster County, Penn. cites Carrie Underwood as her favorite vocalist. Her recording session was produced by Darran Smith (Tim McGraw) and Lofton Creek chief Mike Borchetta. Her previous single “Nothing” reached the Top 50 on MusicRow’s CountryBreakout Chart earlier in 2011.
Parkes also loves playing live for an audience, having sung in front of huge crowds at NASCAR races, minor league baseball games, and more. “I’m a ham,” she explains. “I’ve always been a ham. I love what I do and I love that I get to do it…When I see someone on stage performing, I want to be the one up there performing.”
