Underwater: a home of her own
At turns a frank memoir, an incisive takedown of predatory capitalism, and a spiritual musing on the meaning of home. A tale of grit with a sprinkling of magic, from her turmoil Parker harvests a personal and cultural reckoning, finding humility, meaning, and even buoyancy, in the rubble.
About Kela Parker
“A sonic iconoclast” known for her distinct art folk, artist Kela Parker’s musical genes developed into her unmistakable sound while soaking up the DIY indie music spirit of her hometown of Portland, Oregon. The singer-songwriter with a beguiling voice and innate, genre-resistant musicality has garnered praise for her “sharp musicianship, equal parts measured and thoughtful, heady and blithe,” (Bob Ham, Willamette Week). Now in Los Angeles, the artist continues to explore her song craft, writing and performing and is an advocate for socioeconomic justice and affordable housing. Underwater is her first book.
