Скачать или смотреть Self-Taught, Self-Aware, Still Becoming — Identity Crisis lead guitarist Parker Menke

What happens when you strip away titles, popularity, and expectations?

In this episode of David’s Saturday Night Sit Back, David sits down with Parker Menke, lead guitarist of the Texas alternative rock band Identity Crisis, for a raw, reflective conversation about identity, music, and becoming comfortable with yourself.

Parker shares what it was like growing up feeling out of place, teaching himself guitar with no formal training, and navigating high school, college, and early adulthood without a clear roadmap. From Boy Scouts to bar gigs, from anonymity to purpose, this episode explores what it really means to grow — quietly.

If you’ve ever felt behind, unseen, or unsure of where your life is heading, this one’s for you.

🎸 Music, identity, and honesty — no filters.
