MEMBER EVENT: Jim Parker Author Signing Event @ Harrison Brothers

Local author Jim Parker and illustrator Don Howard will be at Harrison Brothers on August 23 for a meet and greet!

Jim Parker is an American singer-songwriter and co-founder of the Huntsville sub-chapter of the Nashville Songwriters Association International. He is also a poet, storyteller, guitarist, and performer. In 1985, he moved to northern Alabama to be closer to his wife's family while also growing a successful career in real estate. He never gave up on music, though, running songwriter workshops and drawing local creatives who wanted to learn the craft of songwriting. He also shared with others his knowledge of the music industry gained from more than 50 years in the music business.

Presently, Parker is the creator and host of a popular songwriter series show at the Von Braun Center Playhouse in Huntsville, which has been running for over 20 years. He has devoted his life to sharing his passion for music and the stories behind the songs with audiences young and old.

Don Howard embarked on his career as a caricature artist over 40 years ago. He worked for Disney for more than 15 years on projects such as Robin Hood and Winnie-the-Pooh. Shortly after, he moved to Huntsville, where he established Don Howard Studios.

So come meet Jim and Don in person, hear their stories, and get your books signed!
