Comprised of brothers Matt and Scott Thomas (lead vocals and drums), cousin Barry Knox (bass) and their best friend Josh McSwain (lead guitar), Parmalee are the quintessenial American Country band. ... The band has an impressive 6 country singles that have landed Top 40 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart. Named after the small town where the band started (Parmele, N.C.
