John-Michael Parker is frontman of Great Caesar, a band that aims for the heart with a blend of horns and male and female vocals, drawing from acts like Arcade Fire and Dirty Projectors to create music that confronts the things that really matter: love, legacy, and the complexity of human relationships.
Their debut video, "Don't Ask Me Why," funded by a $50,000 Kickstarter campaign, has gained more than 270,000 views. In 2014, Great Caesar performed at TEDxHollywood, sold out shows on both coasts, and released an EP, all of which earned them a feature in Relix Magazine's On The Verge. The band just finished a run of 17 shows at SXSW, and is currently working on their first full-length album, to be released this year.
