| NASHVILLE, TENN. — Country-rock artist Cary Parsons releases official music video for his latest single, Locked Doors. Watch the video now on his official YouTube channel. Filmed at Growhouse Music in Manchester, Tennessee, and directed by acclaimed videographer Stetson Whitworth, the video brings the song’s raw emotion and deeply personal story to life. The single is available now on all major digital streaming platforms. In the video, Parsons delivers the track’s gritty vocals and unfiltered storytelling, capturing the struggle of confronting a difficult past while fighting for a better future. The visual underscore’s the song’s central message of resilience, accountability, and refusing let past mistakes dictate what comes next. Written by Parsons and produced by Jonathan Norris of Kingdom Collapse, Locked Doors blends the intensity of modern country rock with the vulnerability of lived experiences. Drive by Parson’s signature vocal rasp and a commanding chorus, the track explores the frustration of being judged by your history while working to build a different future. “I wrote this song about my time in and out of the legal system and the heavy, uphill battle of trying to build a life after hitting rock bottom,” explains Parsons. “When you’ve walked through those doors, people love to stamp your past in ink and judge you before you even walk in the rooms. But beyond the hard roads, it’s about survival. It’s about breaking free from the weight of old chains and realizing you’re done letting your history dictate your future.” While rooted in Parsons’ personal experiences, Locked Doors speaks to a broader struggle many listeners will recognize: overcoming setbacks, confronting the expectations of others, and pushing forward when the odds seem stacked against you. The song serves as a reminder that where someone has been does not have to define where they are going. Parsons brings an extensive musical background to his evolving country-rock career. As the founder, principal songwriter, guitarist, bassist, and creative force behind modern rock band Dark Remedy, he helped shape the group’s sound and contributed to its national recognition, radio traction, and millions of streams. Now continuing to carve out his place in Nashville’s country music scene, Parsons draws on those years of experience while embracing a more personal approach to songwriting. With an emphasis on honest storytelling, hard-won perspective, and music grounded in real-life experiences, Parsons is building on his established musical foundation while introducing his sound to a new audience. Through Locked Doors, he offers listeners a glimpse into the experiences that have shaped him, and a reminder that moving forward begins with refusing to remain defined by where you’ve been.
