About Crooked Parker

Born in the shadow of the 2020 pandemic, Crooked Parker began as a labor of love — and fear — a way to process the emotions that surfaced during lockdowns and long stretches of isolation.

The first demo, Social Distance Suicide, came to life when musician Willie Lee heard an acoustic version of the song and felt compelled to add his own magic. Creating music together during a time of uncertainty and separation became an unexpected source of connection and momentum.

Fast forward to Neworld (released January 2, 2026), Crooked Parker’s debut album that takes no chances, pushing homegrown pop rock to a fever pitch. The record reflects an artist energized by new tools, new rules, and a fearless approach to refining her original songs. The result is a sonic journey that surprises, unsettles, and ultimately enchants.

Crooked Parker continues to seek collaboration with fellow musicians, embracing bold risks and fresh perspectives as she moves steadily toward defining her own signature sound.

Her second release, BEE Side (June 3, 2026), takes listeners deeper into her songwriting catalog. Blending rock, folk, country, and global influences, the album explores themes of identity, connection, resilience, and transformation. Like the bees that inspired its title and artwork, BEE Side celebrates community, purpose, and the unseen threads that bind us together.
