“The first time I saw Walter Parks I knew I was witnessing a rare talent! From a whisper out of heaven to a 747 like roar Walter can write it, sing it and play it all!”
– JJ Grey
Witness a one-of-a-kind musical experience as Walter Parks & The Unlawful Assembly take the stage with their genre-bending fusion of historic spirituals, gospel, blues, and American roots traditions.
This isn’t a nostalgia act — it’s a reinvention. With deep reverence and cutting-edge arrangements, the band brings new life to prison work chants, shape-note hymns, and swamp hollers, layering them with jazz, soul, and modern grooves. Backed by standout collaborators including drummer/producer Steven Williams, vocalist Ada Dyer, and trombonist Andrae Murchison, the group’s sound is both grounded in history and defiantly forward-looking.
Expect a soulful, swampy, and cinematic performance — one that not only honors the past but sparks fresh dialogue about resistance, hope, and the healing power of collective music.
