Fred  Parker

Fred Parker grew up in Center Township, which is close to Pittsburgh, PA.  He started
playing the guitar in college and played various places with various bands.  One year for
Christmas, his wife Anita gave him a fiddle.  Fred started taking lessons, which inspired
the idea for his daughters to take lessons.  Fred continued playing the fiddle and guitar
and started forming a band called Old Dog Trey, which included former band members "Mildred
Hubble," or Aaron Cable, and Mark Mang.  This band performed for many years, evolving
into the Tiger Maple String Band when Justine and Alison joined.  Some of Fred's musical
influences include Tommy Jarrell, Jeb Puryear, Richie Stearns, Joe Thrift, Bruce Springsteen,
Jerry Garcia, Jim Lauderdale, Ralph Blisard, Bobby Taylor, Lucinda Williams, and Bob Dylan.
