FEELS LIKE CAROLINA features 12 songs, including the smash hit “Carolina” and the raucous party anthem, “Musta Had a Good Time,” which spent 4 straight weeks at #1 on SiriusXM The Highway’s fan-voted “Hot 30 Live” Countdown.
Stand out tracks also include the lazy country swagger of live show favorite “Day Drinkin’ ” which captures the heart and soul of a blue collar holiday while the flirtatious grooves of “Dance” empowers the female fan to let her hair down and shake “what her mama gave her.”
Produced by the four-man collective known as NV (Thompson Square), FEELS LIKE CAROLINA features songs written by the crème da le crème of Nashville’s songwriting elite, including GRAMMY winning songwriter Craig Wiseman (Tim McGraw’s “Live Like You Were Dying”) as well as #1 chart-topping writers Kyle Jacobs (Garth Brooks’ “More Than A Memory”), Bobby Pinson (Toby Keith/ Sugarland), Jason Sever and Rachel Thibodeau (Billy Currington’s “Good Direction”).
Parmalee lead singer Matt Thomas shares songwriting credits on seven of the album’s 12 tracks, including collaborations with Phil O’Donnell and Blair Daily who have penned #1 hits for Rascal Flatts and Montgomery Gentry respectively. Parmalee members Barry Knox, Josh McSwain and Scott Thomas also share writing credits on several tracks. Additionally, artists Randy Montana, Keith Anderson, Trent Tomlinson and Chris Janson lend their songwriting prowess to the diverse collection.

ABOUT PARMALEE:
Stoney Creek Records’ Parmalee is a family band comprised of brothers Matt and Scott Thomas (Lead Vocals/Guitar and Drums, respectively), cousin Barry Knox (Bass) and life-long best friend Josh McSwain (Guitar). Influenced by such musical heavyweights as the Allman Brothers, Travis Tritt and Bob Seger, the band’s name is derived from the small town of Parmele, NC (population 262), which is home to a small tin-roofed barn dubbed Studio B where the band practiced on every given evening.
Parmalee’s Top 40 debut country radio single, “Musta Had A Good Time” was voted #1 by fans for four consecutive weeks on SiriusXM The Highway’s “Hot 30 LIVE” and its video reached #1 on CMT’s PURE 12-Pack Countdown. Parmalee was handpicked by MTV Networks to perform at the 2013 O Music Awards, selected by Southwest Airlines to launch the brand’s Southwest Airlines Travelin’ Taylor Tour series, chosen as a Billboard “Bubbling Under” artist and featured as a Clear Channel NEW! Artist to Watch (June 2013). Parmalee’s current Top 5 hit “Carolina” continues to rise up the country charts and has reached #1 on SiriusXM The Highway’s “Hot 30 LIVE.”
