SOUL-SOAKED AMERICAN ROOTS ARTIST JOYANN PARKER TO RELEASE NEW SINGLE “END OF THE LINE” AHEAD OF UPCOMING ALBUM ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27

LIFE LINES
DUE OUT FRIDAY, MARCH 27

NASHVILLE, TN (February 17, 2026) — Two-time Billboard Blues Albums charting artist Joyann Parker continues to cement her reputation as one of roots and soul music’s most compelling independent voices. Building on her unmistakable momentum, Parker will deliver her powerfully optimistic sophomore single, “End of The Line,” on February 27, ahead of her upcoming album Life Lines, arriving Friday, March 27.
Produced alongside Kevin Bowe and featuring Parker on lead vocals and guitar, with Mark Lamoine (guitar), Tim Wick (keys), Chris Bates (bass), and Bill Golden (drums, background vocals), the track delivers a deeply felt performance anchored by her unmistakable voice. Blending blues, soul, Americana, and rock, “End of The Line” emerges as a stirring anthem of resilience and renewal, echoing Parker’s belief that what feels like a final chapter may instead be the beginning of something greater.
Parker shares, “What may seem like the end of the line isn’t always the end. Instead, maybe it’s a doorway to a fresh start — part of a bigger story of redemption.”

“End of The Line” follows the release of the lead single, “Got Love,” praised by Americana UK as “a vibrant anthem driven by lively grooves and her soulful voice,” while Rock & Blues Muse exclusively premiered the track, calling it “an up-tempo rocking ballad about the importance of love regardless of what path we’re all on… lyrics speak to everyone… full-bodied and soulful, conveying warmth and true soulfulness.”
Inspired by a close friend’s healing journey, Parker adds, “‘Got Love’ is about choosing hope — even when things feel heavy. Watching someone I love fight their way back reminded me how powerful love can be when it’s steady, patient, and real.”

Following the Billboard Blues Albums chart success of her previous releases, Out of the Dark (2021) and Roots (2023), with Roots debuting at No. 10, Life Linesfinds Parker prioritizing honesty over polish, delivering songs that feel intentional, authentic, and deeply connected to her own experiences. The album represents her bold evolution as a genre-blending artist, inspired by the stories written across our lives, in memory, and in the lines, we carry as we grow older. “It’s a reminder that getting older is a gift,” Parker says. “Every line has a story, and I’m learning to wear mine with gratitude.”
Rooted in a lived-in, vintage aesthetic shaped by the sounds of the 1970s, Life Lines draws on the influences of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, the Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Van Morrison, and Albert King. Fusing soul, rock, blues, and Americana, Life Lines feels both timeless and urgent, showcasing some of Parker’s most emotionally honest songwriting to date. The album forms a deeply human collection of songs built on resilience and connection, exploring the invisible threads that carry us through hardship and healing — the moments, relationships, and choices that ultimately shape who we are.
Recorded with her longtime touring ensemble, Life Lines captures the intimacy, trust, and musical chemistry of the Joyann Parker Band. Parker shines on vocals, guitar, and piano, supported by Mark Lamoine (guitar, backing vocals), Tim Wick (keyboards), Scott Graves (horns, percussion, backing vocals), Chris Bates (bass), and Bill Golden (drums, backing vocals). Co-produced by Parker and Kevin Bowe, with Lamoine as executive producer, the record was crafted at The Kill Room and mastered by Bruce Templeton at Microphonic. The result is a warm, analog-forward sound that mirrors the album’s reflective themes and emotional depth.
