About the Performers:
Host Artist Parker MacDonell has been using his original songs, voice and acoustic guitar to communicate with audiences for years. A veteran of the Los Angeles club scene and college student unions across the United States, Parker was named “Best New Artist of the Year” by the listeners of Pete Fornatale’s Mixed Bag show on New York City radio station WNEW. He picked up a bushel of stories by playing bass for Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley during his California stint. He has released four recordings: Miracle on Broad Street with Matt Munhall (2017), The Present Tense (2012), Looking For You (1985) and Home to the Heart (1983).
July 16 - Guest Artist Jenny Morgan started writing songs and performing at the age of 14. As a pre-school teacher, and long time environmental/public health activist, and as a founder of the Leave No Child INSIDE Central Ohio Collaborative and Citizen Pollution Watch, Morgan loves to write songs about nature, taking care of the earth, and more. Her songs have been utilized in independent documentaries, for nature programs, in school classrooms, at political rallies, and more recently, for the Arc of Appalachia's conservation campaigns. Morgan has recorded 4 self produced albums, and several additional singles.
The Third Thursday concerts are sponsored by Six String Concerts, which has been presenting touring singer/songwriters in concert since 1988.
