Soulful house

DJ John Parker

Deep grooves and warm keys, built for rooms that dance until sunrise.

About

Forty-five years behind the decks, one sound at heart.

Born in San Francisco and raised in Petaluma, John grew up around music — his father was a professional jazz, blues and R&B drummer, and still John’s biggest influence. He started out in 1979 playing school dances and the party circuit before graduating to local clubs.

Over four decades he’s played venues from the R3 Hotel to the River Theatre, and festivals including San Francisco Pride and Russian River Pride. These days you’ll find him every Saturday night at the Rainbow Cattle Company in Guerneville, spinning House, Funk, Soul and Top 40.
