The newly crowned ACM New Male Artist of the Year Parker McCollum is poised to enter the top spot on the country charts with his latest song, “To Be Loved By You.” The Texas native says he can tangibly feel the electricity from the crowd right before he performs the song in concert.
“It’s really cool, because it’s right before…in our set right now right before we play ‘To Be Loved By You,’ all the lights, it goes completely black and the lights are timed on to hit with that guitar riff. Ba da ba da ba and so, I just turn around and I have my back to the crowd and the lights hit and I can just feel – I don’t even have to look at it – I can just feel the energy of them waiting on that song the whole night,” says Parker. “As a songwriter, there’s no better feeling in the world than to know that they’re waiting on one that you wrote.”
You can catch Parker performing on Monday night’s (March 7th) ACM Awards on Amazon Prime.
