Maceo Parker Background

Maceo Parker was born in North Carolina in 1943, and his musical family instilled in him a love for music that would last for his entire life. His father played both the drums and the piano and his mother sang in church, so Parker was constantly surrounded by music, which no doubt explains why he quickly developed such a deep passion for music and for performing. In 1964, both Parker and his brother joined James Brown on tour and in the recording studio, but a few years later both of the Parker brother left to form their own band, Maceo & All the King's Men. After touring for two years with his own band, Maceo decided to return to James Brown, and he would play with this iconic master of funk off and on for several years, earning him one of the most incredible reputations in all of music.

Starting in 1990, Maceo Parker began his solo career, and he now has over two decades worth of phenomenal material and experience as a solo artist. Maceo's band has been dubbed the greatest little funk orchestra on earth, and this reputation has led to sold-out shows wherever he performs.
