Trying out a new venue for yet another free concert in the Park in Parker, The Outfit will entertain music fans on the South lawn of the Parker Library just west of downtown Parker.

Saturday, August 28, 2010 – 7:00pm

Parker Public Library South Lawn
10851 South Crossroads Drive (Map)
Parker, CO 80134

Please bring lawn chairs, blankets, picnics and non-alcoholic beverages along to enjoy this band that was nominated for best Lo-Fi/Garage Rock band in the Westword Music Showcase. No registration is required.  The band hopes to have it’s first album released before this concert so be ready to support local artists by purchasing one if you enjoy their music.

Their song ‘What Happened to You’ has been played on KTCL 93.3′s esteemed Locals Only show.

The Outfit Band includes five Colorado local musicians:

  • Eric Johnston
  • Casey Banker
  • RJ Powers
  • Mike King
  • Christopher Cain


“The Outfit is a big, hearty sound. It swirls and churns with the watery metallic of a motor’s hum. They teeter on the edge of throwing a rod and kicking the whole machine into chaos — but somehow, impossibly, they always throttle with a throaty obligatto — sometimes killing the engine altogether for a desperate breath, then violently firing the pistons into eloquent motion again before diving deeper into the emotional life of fire.” — Jonathan Bitz, Denver Syntax Autumn 2009
