Weekend - Visalia Musician Rudy Parris Hosts Weekly Livestream Show From Home

Rudy Parris Facebook
Rudy Parris was supposed to play 20 shows this year, but they've all been cancelled due to the coronavirus. He's continuing to play live music, though, streaming from his home on Facebook.

This weekend, why not tune into a concert from home? Visalia musician Rudy Parris has been hosting live stream performances on his Facebook page every Friday and Saturday night for the past six weeks. He plays a little of everything: country, classic rock, and even his own songs. Parris is known for his time on the competition show, “The Voice,” and has spent the last year singing with the Buckaroos, the backup band of Bakersfield country legend Buck Owens.

Listen to the audio postcard above to hear Parris talk about what motivated him to start his “home concerts,” and what folks tuning in might expect.
