About Frisbee Nights

Frisbee Nights is a collaborative album written by Gabe Parsons and his hometown friends Koji Sakano and Jimmy Waltman. Parsons Contributions to the record (Supermarket Radio, Firebrand, Skipping to the Lake, Little Lights) are the beginnings of the themes his writing explores with The Heartland.

These songs are about the long summer nights of New Jersey and the great sadness of leaving them behind. The writers acknowledge their influences of Springsteen, Bob Dylan, and the Eagles with Sax tinged, Organ filled songs . Frisbee Nights offers feel good classic sounds with a new spin.

Parsons contributions to this record are staple songs in The Heartland's set.

About Cape Adare

This is Gabe's second Album Cape Adare.It is a conceptual, poetic and meditative piece that was created during the pandemic and inspired by the metaphor of Antarctica and the explorer Robert Falcon Scott traveling through its bleak, barren but beautiful landscape. The songs deal with the emotions of loneliness and sadness but ultimately hope as heard in the song “This place they’ve carved."

This album was recorded in the depths of the global pandemic and is an intensely introspective and was almost a spiritual album for Parsons to write and record.

The Heartland celebrated this release with a packed show at the Labyrinth, a venue in Uptown New Orleans. The Band plays all of these tracks with a new added touch that evokes the emotion of the songs further.

About Beyond the Seas

Beyond the Seas was Gabe Parsons first album written and recorded with peers at Solebury School and Hopewell Valley Central High School, Parsons released Beyond the Seas at just 17 as a senior. The songs have simple memorable melodies. They reflect Parsons first steps into a larger world as a person and as a writer. The core values of these songs are further illustrated in more recent work, as well as in the new Heartland music.

Notable tracks include Second Place, Along for the Ride, and Serenity.
