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.
