Parker frequently graces the Open Mic stage, singing and accompanied by his guitar. “I love to sing in other languages; especial- ly in Italian because it speaks to me. One of my favorite Ital- ian songs to sing is Torna a Surriento,” reflects Parker. His performance was so impressive that he was invited to play two long sets on the out- door Redwood Cafe Beer Gar- den stage during Happy Hour. Additionally, Woodman as DJ
