The National Parks is an indie folk-pop band that has formed an intimate connection with listeners through its evocative storytelling and lush soundscapes. The band was founded in Provo, Utah, in 2013 by Brady Parks (guitar, vocals) and has since grown to encompass additional members—Sydney Macfarlane (keys, vocals), Cam Brannelly (drums), and Megan Parks (violin). Their music weaves together a blend of heartfelt lyrics, rich harmonies, and a mix of organic and electronic instrumentation that feels both familiar and innovative.

Over the years, The National Parks has gained a reputation for their spirited performances and an innate ability to craft songs that resonate with a diverse audience. Highlights in their discography include the warm and reflective "Summer of Memories," the electrifying "Trouble," and the exuberant "Dance with Everybody." Their 2020 release, "Wildflower," demonstrated a maturation in their sound and was followed by a series of imaginative projects like the "8th Wonder" releases, where the group continued to experiment with orchestral arrangements and deluxe editions that added new dimensions to their music. "Campfire, Vol. 1" stripped their sound back to its acoustic roots, capturing the essence of storytelling around a fire, while singles such as "I Wanna Be With You (On Christmas Day)" showcased their ability to capture the seasonal spirit with authenticity. The National Parks continue to enchant audiences, both on record and in their captivating live shows, as they solidify their place in the ever-evolving landscape of modern folk-pop music.
