Indie musician Jaime Parker is the focus of Old City Hall in Bordentown’s April Sunday Soirée.
Parker is a Bordentown-based songwriter, drummer, bassist, vocalist, and co-founder of Alpha Rabbit, a band known for “blurring genre lines to create a soundscape that’s equal parts vibrant, introspective, and wildly fun.”
The group also features Jake Foy and Joe “Dim” Wolstenholme and has also been called “one of central Jersey’s best kept secrets” of Trenton’s indie music scene.”
“A lot of our songs have to do with paradoxes, wanting connection, and trying to tap into something greater,” Parker says about the band’s recent music. “A lot of consideration about the impermanence of everything. It’s important to live fully and appreciate what you have while you have it because nothing is forever.”
Parker, who is also the senior director of radical hospitality at the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen, connects her music to the capital city and a musical scene that “values honesty, bravery, sincerity, and conviction, all while taking itself with a grain of salt.”
The session is scheduled for Sunday, April 12 at 4 p.m. It was originally scheduled for Sunday, April 5, but has been moved because of Easter, which is also April 5.
The Sunday Soirée is billed as a series of events where artists, cultural leaders, and community members come together to share ideas. It was developed through the City of Bordentown’s Old City Hall Restoration Committee, a volunteer group dedicated to providing awareness and funds to restore the historic landmark building in downtown Bordentown City.
Old City Hall is located at 13 Crosswicks St., Bordentown. Web: facebook.com/OldCityHallRestoration.
