Parachute

At Racket NYC

Chelsea, New York

Reviewers note that bar drink prices are high, which is typical for New York concert venues.
Visitors mention the venue is relatively small, so overall sightline visibility is generally good.

Formed by high school friends in Charlottesville before building mainstream success, the indie pop band Parachute brings soul and funk-addled guitar, saxophone, and drums to Racket NYC for an evening concert.

Parachute

Charlottesville pop rock band with funk and blue‑eyed soul influences

Headliner


Parachute is an American pop‑rock band formed in 2002 in Charlottesville, Virginia, by high‑school friends Will Anderson (vocals, guitar), Johnny Stubblefield (drums), and Christopher “Kit” French (saxophone, keyboards). The group originally performed as Sparky’s Flaw before adopting the name Parachute in 2007, and has released five studio albums, including the 2009 debut *Losing Sleep* and the 2013 LP *Overnight*. The band’s sound blends piano‑driven pop/rock with funk, soul, and blue‑eyed soul influences from artists such as Billy Joel, Peter Gabriel, U2, and the Dave Matthews Band, and has earned mainstream success with radio‑friendly melodies and heartfelt vocals. Parachute has toured extensively, opening for acts like Kelly Clarkson and co‑headlining tours with The Plain White T’s, and has performed before crowds of over a million at a New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square.
