How did I find Obadiah Parker? Tumblr. I was going through my tracked tag for The Vampire Diaries and someone had posted a playlist for the show or something along those lines, and what caught my eye was a cover of Oukast's "Hey Ya". There aren't many people who have covered "Hey Ya" so I was intrigued. A quick youtube search brought me to a wonderful artist. It was amazing to hear that song in a folky tone and just a guy and his acoustic guitar. I highly suggest fans of City and Colour or Ray LaMontagne to look into Obadiah Parker. Also, as a random sidenote, the man has a KILLER ginger beard.
