Lonely Parrots

Lonely Parrots is a brand new folk-pop duo based in the Bay Area. One part Michael Martinez & one part Max Embers, the two singer-songwriters have been making music and performing professionally for the past 8 years (joint credits include Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Naika & John Oates to name a few). The two met in Boston at the Berklee School of Music nearly a decade ago but only realized their creative chemistry in the fall of 2022. What started as a sunset jam on the beach turned out to be their first of many songs. They sing about the highs and lows of friendship and love, about the planet they both love dearly, and do so while singing in haunting unison or beautiful harmonies, leaving audiences unsure of who is even singing which part. Their voices, unique on their own, become an entirely new and third voice as Lonely Parrots. They welcome the comparison to Simon & Garfunkel though with a modern Coldplay twist. After touring the Pacific Northwest last year the duo is excited to start releasing music this year! They are also the founders of the MORF initiative (Music On Regenerative Farms) which aims to bring concerts to sustainable farms and projects, giving earth-conscious artists an opportunity to share their music in a beautiful setting and to raise awareness for the regenerative movement!
