Parachute Live From Daryl’s House for 20th Episode
by Troy Rogers
 For
the Virginia based band, Parachute, 2009 has been
their year to glide their way from the musical
sky to success. Parachute first kicked off 2009
with a performance in Times Square on New Year’s
Eve, then it was on to a gig at SXSW to promote
their debut release, "Losing Sleep," which dropped
in May, before hitting the road to join O.A.R
on tour ahead of a live performance on the CBS
Early Show.
As the opportunities continued to roll in for Will Anderson (guitars, piano, lead vocals), Kit French (saxophone, keyboards, vocals), Alex Hargrave (bass), Johnny Stubblefield (drums), and Nate McFarland (lead guitar, vocals), Parachute received a recent once in a lifetime gig when they appeared on the web series, Live From Daryl's House'! to perform with the legendary Daryl Hall and his band.
Fans of both Parachute and Daryl Hall get a casual jam session in the clip, which Parachute lead singer, Will Anderson, was happy to be a part of, as he recently explained. "Getting to do Live From Daryl's House was amazing. We had an absolute blast singing some of the Daryl Hall and John Oates songs I grew up listening to and hope we'll get to jam with Daryl and the guys again soon!"
Here's a look at the official lowdown on Parachute on Live From Daryl’s House with the link to check out the session:
Daryl Hall was floating on air after his visit from alt-rockers Parachute to 'Live From Daryl's House'! The landmark 20th edition of the acclaimed web show features Daryl and the Mercury/Island group with #1 iTunes album singing the smash hit "She Is Love" and some Daryl Hall & John Oates classics! Watch it now!
Live from Daryl’s House started with Daryl’s "light-bulb moment idea of "playing music with my friends and putting it up on the Internet," and the show has subsequently been praised by such varied media outlets as Rolling Stone, Spin, Daily Variety, CNN, BBC, Yahoo and the influential Lefsetz Letter. Past episodes of Live from Daryl’s House have featured a mix of well-known performers like The Doors, Nick Lowe, K.T. Tunstall, Gym Class Heroes’ Travis McCoy, Finger Eleven’s James Black and Rick Jackett and the Bacon Brothers, along with newcomers such as Philly soul singer Mutlu, Canadian techno-rockers Chromeo, MySpace pop-rock phenom Eric Hutchinson, Cash Money rocker Kevin Rudolf, Wind-up Records’ Chicago rockers Company of Thieves, Bay Area singer/songwriter Matt Nathanson and Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek of The Doors.
