Sorry we haven't been around for a while! There have been a lot of changes happening around here and we've been planning for what's next. Well . . . that is, I've been planning. While talking about what our vision was for the future it became apparent that the three of us were not on the same page. We've all had a lot of life changes lately and we just find ourselves in different spots. It was obvious to us that it was time to move on.

It sounds a lot worse than it was. After so many years of being friends and band mates we can definitely sense each other's thoughts a little bit so it wasn't too surprising for any of us. It's a bit weird to not be in a band with Jessie and Daniel for the first time in like 9 years or something but I'm excited for what's next.

I've decided to keep making music under the name Obadiah Parker. I know this is probably going to be confusing for people  . . . but what else is new? You don't name your band Obadiah Parker and expect people to get it right away.

I've been busy writing new songs and planning a new project. A big project. A very exciting project that everyone will get a chance to be a part of. I don't want to say too much more about it but it will be fully launched soon. I think it will more than make up for the last few months of flying under the radar. I hope that you guys still consider yourselves fans of Obadiah Parker and are as willing to support the band as much as you always have. I'm definitely going to need a lot of help coming up here soon.

Talk to you soon!

Mat

Hey man...sorry to hear about what's been happening, I've been there! It just seems to be part of the creative process...entropy-chaos...destruction and re-creation...you have to be a little crazy in the first place to pick up a few scraps of wood glued together that somebody has pinned six steel bands to and try to change the world with it...but it happens every day anyway.
:-)

I'm still with ya...and I hope the new direction for all of you sees your sails turned towards sunrise...
