PARMALEE UNVEILS UPLIFTING NEW SONG “FEELS LIKE HOME” AHEAD OF FELL IN LOVE WITH A COWGIRL ALBUM OUT APRIL 4

February 21, 2025

As their current single “Cowgirl” climbs the country radio charts, multi-PLATINUM country sensation Parmalee, known for five #1 singles and a genre-bending sound, is set to captivate fans once again with the release of their newest uptempo track “Feels Like Home.” The heartwarming song, which blends power-ballad lyrics into an irresistible country-pop swagger, is a testament to the transformative feeling of finding that special someone who makes you feel truly at home.

“We’ve always believed that music can transport someone to a place where they feel like they belong, where they feel right at home,” said the band. “We also believe that the right person can do that too. That’s what this song is about. That one who makes you feel right at home when you’re with them. We wanted to make sure to keep the energy going with this one and make sure everyone could sing along with us, just like all the songs that have connected us with our fans!”

Written by Matt Thomas, David Fanning, Ashley Gorley, Beau Bailey, and Ned Cameron, “Feels Like Home” paints a picture of love as a safe haven — a place that, much like one’s hometown, resonates with comfort and familiarity.

“Feels Like Home” is the second track released from their forthcoming new album Fell In Love With A Cowgirl, available April 4. Fans can pre-order/pre-save/pre-add the album here. The seven-track collection launches the first part of a two-album series that magnifies Parmalee’s distinctive mix of storytelling and swagger. Their music offers a fresh take on love and adventure, celebrating both life’s grand milestones and everyday moments.

Their new single, “Cowgirl,” was released last month with MusicRow Magazine saying of the song, “Bopping and merry. The galloping electronic tempo, compressed production, and rapid-fire vocals describe tumbling head over heels in love. Catchy as can be.”

Parmalee’s evolution from chart-topping hits to innovative new sounds continues to solidify their place at the forefront of the country genre. With “Feels Like Home,” the band invites listeners on a musical journey that’s equal parts nostalgic and refreshing—an anthem for anyone who’s ever found solace in love.

PARMALEE RELEASES POWERFUL VIDEO FOR “GONNA LOVE YOU”

November 27, 2023

Multi-platinum group Parmalee follows the release of their new single “Gonna Love You” with the powerful and autobiographical music video that recreates the night they were victims of an attempted robbery which left their drummer with a 5% chance of living.

Following a show in SC, brothers Matt and Scott Thomas were in their RV when two robbers entered the vehicle demanding cash. Soon after, a gunfight broke out, and though Scott fended off both intruders, he was shot three times. He was airlifted to a hospital where he spent 40 days, 10 in a coma, recovering from his injuries.

“We felt like this was the right song and the right time to tell this story,” said Scott. “It was emotional and surreal for all of us to relive that experience, but we knew it was time.”

Miraculously, just 4 months after the incident, the band took the stage for the first time since the shooting occurred. That night, they secured a record deal they had been working on for years. “We couldn’t believe how many people came together to help us. We would’ve never made it through had it not been for our fans, families, friends, and all the bands and musicians who came together to help us out! We didn’t even ask, they just did it!”

“Gonna Love You,” follows their most recent #1 single, “Girl In Mine.” With four 4 # 1 radio singles and three consecutive in as many years, Stoney Creek Records' Parmalee has now scored more #1’s than any other band or group in country music during that time.

Parmalee Reveals For You 2 Album Cover

August 14, 2023

With the release of their extended album, For You 2 arriving on September 22, Parmalee revealed the new album cover earlier today. Fans can pre-save-/pre-add the album here. Their current single “Girl In Mine,” is top 10 and climbing. The album has already yielded two No. 1 country singles including the double-Platinum “Just The Way,” featuring Blanco Brown, and the Platinum-certified “Take My Name,” which was Billboard’s Most Played Country Song of 2022.

The original album cover features the 1990 GMC-20 Vandura conversion van and a trailer they toured in for the first six years of their career. “We had a conversion van as a kid, so it always felt comfortable to me,” said leader singer Matt Thomas. “I remember we had to get a new trailer because the door kept coming off the hinges in the middle of night and we kept losing gear driving down the highway,” he laughed. “We’re excited to be releasing new music and continue our journey with For You 2.”

For You 2 offers five new songs including their current top 10 single “Girl In Mine.” The breezy track is “…the perfect song for a day out on the water or driving down a two-lane highway with the windows down,” said Taste of Country.

Another new track on For You 2 is the declarative “Boyfriend,” written by Matt along with fellow songwriters David Fanning, Ashley Gorley, Ben Johnson, Michael Hardy and Hunter Phelps. “The idea behind the song is something I feel like most guys have been through at least once in their life,” says Matt. “You’re in love with a girl but she’s with someone else who treats her bad. All you can think about is how if she was yours, you would treat her right and put a ring on her finger.”

Next week, Parmalee will take their hit-packed set on tour with Grammy Award winners Train, for a month-long set of shows. “We’re thrilled about the tour with Train, and we’ve been fans of them and their music for a long time,” said Matt. “They share a band mentality, just like we do, and I feel like we’re cut from the same cloth in a lot of ways. We’re excited to play our music for their fans.”

With a full slate of summer festivals and amphitheaters, Parmalee will take their brand of country music to more than a dozen shows with Grammy Award winners, Train. “We’re thrilled about the tour with Train, and we’ve been fans of them and their music for a long time,” said Matt. “They share a band mentality, just like we do, and I feel like we’re cut from the same cloth in a lot of ways. We’re excited to play our music for their fans.”

Parmalee Celebrates 10th Anniversary of Opry Appearances with Special Dedication

July 13, 2023

With three #1 singles to their credit, multi-platinum hitmakers Parmalee celebrated 10 years of Grand Ole Opry appearances last night, with a three-song set and a special dedication.

The band opened with their current hit “Girl In Mine,” followed by “Take My Name,” Billboard’s Most Played Country Song of 2022, before closing with their first #1 single, “Carolina.”

Formed in 2001, the band, featuring brothers Matt (lead singer) and Scott Thomas, Cousin Barry Knox, and childhood friend Josh McSwain, was touring constantly but struggled to make ends meet. Needing money to pay for a recording session, Matt and Scott’s mom took out a second mortgage on her home to fund the recording.

“You guys changed our lives with this next song, and I got to tell you a little story about it first,” said Matt. “We went in the studio to record the first version of this song and our ‘buddy’ who was helping us out with the money, wrote us a check to pay the studio bill, but the check bounced. So, we owed the studio guy $11,000 and the only person I felt comfortable asking to help was my mom. She took out a second mortgage on her little three-bedroom house and wrote a check to cover the bill. And here’s the kicker, one of those songs was ‘Carolina.’ So, we paid her back plus 20% and new car so here’s to all the momma’s and daddy’s out there supporting your babies and your dreamers y’all! I want to dedicate this to my mom!

Following their Opry appearance, the road warriors took the last flight out of BNA headed west for a weekend of shows.

Parmalee Is One of Radio's Most Played Groups of the Year

July 5, 2023

PARMALEE BEGINS SECOND HALF OF 2023 AS ONE OF THE
MOST PLAYED COUNTRY GROUPS OF THE YEAR

“Girl In Mine” Climbs Towards Top 10

With the first half of 2023 in the books, multi-platinum selling band Parmalee kicks-off the second half of the year as one of radio’s most played country groups of the year.

That airplay success is driven by the band’s three #1 singles, including its recent “Take My Name,” which was Billboard’s Country Airplay Song of 2022. Currently they are enjoying the Top 15 and climbing success of their latest single “Girl In Mine,” co-written by Parmalee lead singer Matt Thomas.

“I had just gotten my first Jeep CJ, and I’ll never forget picking up my girlfriend for the first time,” recalls Thomas of the inspiration behind the song, “We were from such a small town. There wasn’t much else to do but put the top down, listen to music, and talk about what we wanted to do with our lives. In that moment she was the only girl in the world. We were both young and our lives moved on in different directions. But this song came from that moment, and I’ll never forget it.”

With more than 1 Billion career streams, the band, featuring brothers Matt and Scott Thomas, cousin Barry Knox and life-long friend Josh McSwain has been passionately pursing their music dreams for more than a decade.

The North Carolina natives have a full slate of touring this summer that includes shows with Grammy Award winning group Train. For more info go to https://www.parmaleemusic.com.
