"...Arming herself with a haunting voice and cleverly penned lyrics, [Katrina] Parker writes poignant songs with vocal jazz underlinings and a determined pop exterior. If you’re a big time fan of female singer/songwriters in the vein of Imogen Heap (both her Frou Frou and solo material), Feist, and Allison Krauss, you’ll find yourself absolutely in love with this tremendous musician." - Smother Magazine

“...Only Dreaming is an EP that incorporates a dreamy intimacy into adult pop music, reminding the listener of Madeline Peyroux, Imogen Heap, or some of Feist's works...These six songs contain romance, hopefulness, wistful longing, and a search for faith. The first listen hit me hard enough that I had to give it a few more tries so as not to go overboard on this one. If Katrina Parker has more songs in her, Only Dreaming may be the start of something very, very big.” - Phantom Tollbooth, Brian A. Smith

“Only Dreaming is an absolutely stunning EP that puts the focus squarely where it should be, on [Katrina] Parker's obviously trained vocal and piano and work. Parker is probably the best non-major label vocalist I have ever heard. Her voice is sultry and commanding and inviting without even the slightest hint of pretentiousness...This is an amazing EP that fans of singer/songwriter, jazz, blues/lounge, and pretty much any other style of music can appreciate and enjoy.” - Coffeehousetour.com, Mark Fisher

These are just some of the things people have to say about Katrina Parker's current EP "Only Dreaming." Six songs recorded over a one year period in Los Angeles, CA and co-produced by award-winning composer Shaun Drew, "Only Dreaming" explores the myriad of mixed emotions associated with relationships between friends and lovers. The music is dreamy and intimate Alternative Pop; the voice is warm and inviting. Some of it's unabashedly romantic, some bittersweet, and some nostalgic.

Currently you will find Katrina performing in the L.A. area at venues such as Genghis Cohen, The Viper Room Acoustic Lounge, Karma Coffeehouse, Room 5, and Masquer's Cabaret, connecting with her audience on a personal level with songs about love, loss, and life. In 2006 Katrina was nominated for a Southern California Music Award and showcased at the Millenium Music Conference in Harrisburg, PA and Diversafest in Tulsa, OK. Songs from "Only Dreaming" have been played on KCRW Broadband, L.A.’s 104.7 FM iRadio, Radio Crystal BlueRadioioACOUSTIC, The Feminine Groove, and Hawaii radio show ‘The Time Machine.’

In August of 2006, Katrina is adding programming/additional instrumentation to select live shows to bring even more energy and variety to her already stunning live performances (in the vein of Portishead, Jem, Imogene Heap, etc...). See www.katrinaparker.com for more...
