What Our Customers Are Saying

I just wanted to drop a quick note and tell that James and Sylvia were phenomenal Thursday! I just wish I had more residents up and interested in coming! There were more staff than residents that attended. We were having such a great time! The two of them are very engaging and entertaining,… not to mention the talent! I was 100% pleased. I will definitely book them again in the future and I highly recommend them! I can’t thank you enough for finding them and making this a very special day for us.

Parkstreet

John Urban

John Parker Urban was born in Flint Michigan but moved to Beaverton Michigan at the age of eleven where he attended choir and played for the Beaverton High School rock band. Being a self taught musician there is no doubt of his own style and tone. His influences stem from Randy Rhoads, SRV, Hank Williams Jr, Hendrix, Eric Johnson, and every musician he comes in contact with. John has opened for acts such as the Atlanta Rhythm Section. He truly believes that music is the universal language regardless of what style it is. John joined the Marine Corps after high school and has taken his guitar to every climb and place for the past 12 years.

Myrna Stallworth

Myrna Stallworth is emerging as a consistently engaging vocalist on the urban adult contemporary scene. Gifted with a strong, supple alto voice, Myrna has been influenced not only by R&B, but Jazz and traditional Pop - which gives her music a distinct adult sophistication. Born in Jacksonville, Florida Myrna gravitated to music at an early age. Her strict upbringing however meant that only gospel music could be heard throughout her childhood home. It wasn't until the age of 33 that Myrna felt the pull to pursue a secular musical career. Smooth and mellow, Myrna is an outstanding singer, songwriter, arranger, and performer - all rolled into a 6'-2" package.

Ray Lunn

Ray Lunn, originally from Kansas City, Kansas, has lived in Jacksonville, Florida since 1993. Ray started his musical addiction around 2001 when he was asked by a close friend to join an emerging band as a bass player. Like most guys out there, Ray was a closet guitarist who played just to himself and the radio until he got that offer. Ray’s powerful blends of rhythms and progressions come from a musical interest in rock, funk, soul, and blues when he picked up the electric guitar while in college. Ray has taken what he knows from the electric guitar and the many jam sessions with Jacksonville’s talented musicians and has made his own style of bass playing the thing you hear today. You will find Ray forming a rhythmic pocket locked in step with the drummer that takes the band and listener on an infectious musical ride. Ray’s philosophy and approach to the bass is to lock it in and let it go with the idea of taking the song and the listener on a musical journey full of surprising twist and turns.

Duane Washburn

Duane has been on the Jacksonville music scene for around 25 years. He has a balance of drum styles ranging from Jazz, R&B, Classic Rock, and Modern Blues. His influences include artists such as Buddy Rich, Buddy Miles, Steve Gad, and Steve Jordan. Butch Trucks of the Allman Brothers remains his favorite style to play. His strengths lie in is his diversity in style, and his experience at live performances. Duane hopes to enjoy many more years of soul satisfying music with the Parkstreet band.
