Search - Oh My! Michael Scott Parker :: Naked

All-original, sensual creature rock. Uncut indie rock diamond, Michael Creature's penchant for true imagination mixes together intricate canorous melodies, deep velvet vocals, and highly realized rhythm styles, pushing rock in an unorthodox way. Michael has 4 albums of music, her latest full length studio recording, entitled Naked showcases her instrumental savoir faire. You hear her proficiency on guitar, bass, saxophone, cello, piano and percussion, and leave it to Michael to make sure she played the melodica or an ocarina to fully achieve her audio installations. She has been compared to having Prince-like abilities, being a formidable rock guitarist and having capacity for handling multiple instruments. As well as having the originality of David Bowie , the rock of PJ Harvey and Pattie Smith, the sensuality of Tori Amos, the skill and intellect of predecessors such as Ani Difranco and Bob Dylan. Michael shines on stage and embodies a depth that fuels the eclectic and intense music of her heartstrings. Howling sultry lyrics layered with emotion and meaning, dancing uncensored and unforgiving for her fans while her hands beat fearless control out of her six stringed companions, seeing her live is where magic happens! People are drawn to Michael's passionate and somewhat peculiar genius. Her message is that creativity is her purpose, her purposes in the process, and the process is the product. 'Working with Michael is unlike anything I've ever experienced before. She has such an amazing passion, talent, and energy, that sometimes, just being in the same room with her can be overwhelming, though always inspiring. She is one of those rare individuals who literally exudes vitality and creativity through every pore of her body.' -John Standish, music producer & co-owner of City Tracks recording studio Oh My! The band's name is borrowed from the gaping mouths of their audience. Artist/songwriter/performer Michael (the girl) Scott Parker's recent release, 'Naked' presents a beautiful collection of her art and music. A visual and tactile complement to the auditory experience. The San-Francisco-based band performs Michael's vast collection of original compositions, frequently employing guest musicians to articulate their grand visions. The music falls into the genre of Sensual Creature Rock, hailing the process of creation, and reveling in the glory of life. The experience is sometimes beautiful, sometimes raw, leading you on a journey towards your exhilarating truth. The 3-time award winning songwriter and performer as well as an award winning visual artist. Art is a place to relax from the world of music. In between performance time, she is in the recording studio or composing. She paints as a way to utilize unused ideas or dissonant energy. Michael creates a unique collection of work during every album she records. That body of work is used for the album s design, new visions of the performances, band merchandise, and solidifies entire concepts of her protean mind. Her recent series, created and used in the album 'Naked' are all acrylic and wax pigment, with a little cork board and staff paper thrown in as texture, are spirit paintings of her family and new home city of San Francisco. Aqua Woman in Love , a self portrait of herself as an aquatic creature with a explosive cavity in her head, is the main feature of the album art.
