Mike Parrish was born and raised in Southeast Texas. Like most singer/songwriters, Mike began writing songs at a very early age. While Mike's first love has always been music, a career in music seemed to evade him for so many years and, in the meantime, life just got in the way. After serving in the United States Army then enjoying a long career as a successful and distinguished Texas Peace Officer, Mike ultimately came back to his roots after reuniting with a lifelong friend & fellow singer/songwriter Sammy Hundley. When fate landed them, almost simultaneously, back in their hometown, it was inevitable that they'd begin making music together again after many long years of separation. Sammy Hundley has spent a lifetime dedicated to the creation of music & has become an accomplished, even masterful, singer / songwriter & guitar player. He formed his first band at 16 years old &, due to factors beyond his control, fell just short of a recording contract before he'd even graduated.
