5/2 Clay Parker and Jodi James with Eric Schmitt

LISTEN

“In a world where artistry would be predictably honored, Clay Parker and Jodi James would be right up there at the top of the list. I love everything about them…songs, music, harmony…everything.” –  Jorma Kaukonen

“Clay Parker and Jodi James are not an ‘act.’ They are two stellar performing songwriters making whatever sacrifice necessary to share their art… because they believe it's important. It is. Listen to 'em… let 'em move you… you’ll agree.”
– Verlon Thompson

Eric Schmitt is a Louisiana native, songwriter, and musician who recently released his album, Wait For The Night, which was recorded on an eight-track tape machine at Clay Parker’s studio in Gonzales, Louisiana, where Parker was also the recording engineer and co-producer. Schmitt really flexed his muscles as a multi-instrumentalist on acoustic guitar, harmonica, piano, electric piano, electric guitar, and lap steel, while Parker supplied bass, organ, electric and acoustic guitar, percussion and backing vocals. Several musicians from the local community also contributed, bringing depth and range to the emotive tracks that act like snapshots from wider narratives, many of which capture the flavor of modern Louisiana life.
