Parachute’s first single is “She Is Love,” bulleted at #28 on the Hot AC Chart, while the video has been added to VH1. The track is now in its third month of digital release with sales nearing 60,000. As featured in Nivea Body’s Smooth Sensations tv spots (http://media.islanddefjam.com/Parachute/parachuteVAnivea1-27-09.mov), fans began recognizing “She Is Love,” and “Under Control” which tagged i-Tunes for purchase. Also, Parachute was chosen “Adult Artist To Watch” at Clear Channel’s New! site in March.

From the shade of the Blue Ridge Mountains comes Parachute: Will Anderson (guitars, piano, lead vocals), Kit French (saxophone, keyboards, vocals), Alex Hargrave (bass), Johnny Stubblefield (drums), and Nate McFarland (lead guitar, vocals). Formerly known as Sparky’s Flaw, they began playing together in high school and later on as students at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. Signed to Charlottesville’s Red Light Management, Parachute won a loyal grass roots following as they played over 200 shows along the east coast last year alone.
