STEAMBOAT SOUND CHECK | The National Parks

In this episode, Eli has the great opportunity to chat with Brady Parks of The National Parks before they hit the stage at the Strings Music Pavilion in Steamboat on September 6.

Hailing from Provo, Utah, The National Parks is known for their unique blend of indie folk-pop, characterized by cinematic soundscapes, soaring harmonies, and a deep connection to the natural world. The band's outdoor passion extends beyond their music. Brady Parks and his bandmates are avid outdoor enthusiasts, engaging in activities like skiing, hiking, and camping. This love for the outdoors is not just a theme in their music but also a lifestyle that they encourage their fans to embrace.

In 2024, the band released their latest album, Wild Spirit, which features tracks like "Scenic Route," "Where You Are," and the title track "Wild Spirit," which have all been heavily featured on the Steamboat Locals Choice for Music this summer. This album continues to showcase their ability to create emotionally resonant music that blends folk-rock with modern indie influences. The band is supporting the album with the Wild Spirit Tour, which includes their upcoming Steamboat Springs performance.
