The National Parks are a band that captures the expansive beauty of the world through soaring melodies and evocative storytelling. The Provo, Utah-based quartet—Brady Parks (vocals, guitar), Sydney Macfarlane (vocals, keys), Cam Brannelly (drums), and Megan Parks (violin)—have always sought to translate the awe of nature, the thrill of adventure, and the quiet moments of introspection into their music. Their blend of indie folk-pop, cinematic instrumentation, and rich harmonies invites listeners into a world of wide-open landscapes and intimate emotions.
Since their formation in 2013, The National Parks have been dedicated to crafting music that feels as vibrant and boundless as the outdoors that inspire them. With over 200 million streams across five full-length albums—including Young (2013), Until I Live (2015), Places (2017), Wildflower (2020), and 8th Wonder (2023)—the band has built a dedicated fanbase that spans the globe. Tracks like “Time,” which earned over 9.3 million Spotify streams, and “I Wanna Go,” which became an anthem of freedom and exploration, have made a lasting impression on the indie-folk scene.
Bluegrass Situation praises them for having “made a mission of translating the breathtaking majesty of the outdoors into awe-inspiring roots pop—music that ends up like oxygen for the soul,” while Wonderland Magazine states, “Through their captivating harmonies, organic orchestration, and lush symphonies, The National Parks have enraptured audiences.” Now, the group takes their vision to new heights with the release of their sixth album, Wild Spirit.
