Parmalee has released the song “How Do I Let You Go”, which was inspired by their fathers – who also happen to inspired the members of the group to play music.

Lead singer Matt Thomas shared that “this song is a note to our dads and the friends we lost too soon. Myself, [my brother] Scott [Thomas] and [lifelong friend] Josh [McSwain] grew up playing in bands with our dads. [Cousin] Barry [Knox] eventually joined that band too. From the time we were kids, all we ever wanted to do was play music for a living. There’s a line in the song about Corrigan’s – that was the club where it all began for us with them. The place that shaped us as musicians and friends.”

He adds: “One of the hardest things is knowing they never got to see us fulfill our dreams of playing music for a living. Even so, they’ve been with us every step of the way, and we know every night they have the best seat in the house.”

“How Do I Let You Go” is the first new music from Parmalee since their Fell in Love with a Cowgirl EP dropped last April, which featured the hit single, “Cowgirl.”
