Bio

The Namby Pamby is carving out an earnest niche with their sophomore album The Birds Aren’t Migrating Like They’re Supposed To. The new sound is a resourceful response to life’s most tender moments: universal themes including love, losing, nature, family, and what it means to be part of a community built off of a cohesive combination of twang, soft-rock, and jazz influences. The project was recorded locally with all-analog engineer Jason Davis at Off The Cuff Sound. Following the success of their lead single “Chardonnay” (which landed a spot on Spotify’s “Fresh Finds Folk” playlist), the Fort Wayne-based trio released their eclectic debut album Marketplace at the end of 2022. Regional and national touring through venues like Nashville’s The Basement, Indianapolis’ HI-FI, and opening for Vundabar and Soccer Mommy at Ripple Concert Series, has quickly created a diverse fanbase that has been anticipating their return ever since. The Namby Pamby is composed of sisters McKenna and Emily Parks, as well as their longtime friend Payton Knerr. A shared small town Indiana charm and passion for music that brings people together channels into each nearly tangible story, unionizing their individual musicianship and permitting a continuous expansion on their inimitable style.
