|
||
WHEREAS, Country singer, songwriter, and producer Kyle Park | ||
has delighted audiences and listeners for more than two decades; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Born in Austin and raised in Leander, Kyle Park | ||
started playing guitar at the age of 14; after graduating from high | ||
school, he attended Texas State University before leaving school to | ||
focus on music; he continued to play in local clubs and assembled a | ||
band, and in 2005, released his first album, Big Time; three years | ||
later, he founded his own music label, Kyle Park Music, which | ||
released his second album, Anywhere in Texas; and | ||
WHEREAS, Blending fiddle, pedal steel, and searing guitar | ||
riffs with contemplative lyrics, Mr. Park has gained a reputation | ||
for his live performances; he plays more than 100 shows annually and | ||
has opened for such legendary artists as George Strait, Clint | ||
Black, and Mark Chesnutt; through the years, he has had 7 No. 1 | ||
singles on the Texas Regional Radio Report and 11 singles on the | ||
Texas Music Chart's Top 10; his pair of EPs from 2010 were remixed | ||
and combined with additional tracks for the 2011 full-length album, | ||
Make or Break Me, which appeared on the Country Albums chart; | ||
moreover, the first song from his fourth album, Beggin' for More, | ||
was a hit in Texas, and in 2015, he signed a distribution deal with | ||
Thirty Tigers, which released his fifth album, The Blue Roof | ||
Sessions; he followed that up with his sixth record, Don't Forget | ||
Where You Come From, in 2018; and | ||
WHEREAS, Throughout his career, Kyle Park has distinguished | ||
himself with his outstanding talent and dedication to his craft, | ||
and he is indeed deserving of recognition for adding to the rich | ||
musical heritage of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby honor Kyle Park for his | ||
contributions to Texas music and extend to him sincere best wishes | ||
for continued success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Mr. Park as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
