Utah’s folk-pop band The National Parks is looking to brighten up the gloomy days of winter with their new single “Sunshine”. The single is a part of their upcoming new album “8th Wonder” which is scheduled for a March 3 release.
The National Parks member Brady Parks spoke on the writing of the song saying, “every day at soundcheck I would start playing it and messing around with more ideas. Life was crazy and the cool winter was fading into the warmth of spring. I started thinking about how the sun gives light and life to everything and started reflecting on my life and who does that for me.”
The National Parks have also planned a tour to help support the new album set to kick off on St. Patrick’s Day.
