Obadiah Parker is a folk/pop band from Scottsdale, Arizona comprised of Mat Weddle (vocals, guitar), Jessie Young (piano/keyboards, trumpet, vocals), and Daniel Zehring (bass, vocals). The band has recorded an EP and a live CD, both of which contain a mixture of covers and original material. Weddle has also appeared in a popular video, propagated on the internet, playing an acoustic cover of Outkast‘s “Hey Ya“.
Weddle, Young, and Zehring first met through a local church over ten years ago and developed their interest in music into a functioning band together. They cite bands like Counting Crows and Dave Matthews Band as their influences.
