The winter of 2003 saw the birth of "A Ballad Alchemy". Inspired by a passion for creation, an appreciation for the unique, and the abilities of song, the four friends of A Ballad Alchemy found within eachother the means to express themselves through song. The band is: Chris Parfitt- vox/ guitar; Jeremy Parfitt- Guitar/ vox; John Kirk- Bass/ Double Bass; and Brad Palmer- Percussion. True songsmiths, "A Ballad Alchemy" builds songs with inspired emotion and burried intention. Amongst the talking guitar parts, the bellowing of the string bass, the driven vocals, and the empathetic drumming, the listener is transfixed. The band is continually building their loyal fan-base, playing heavily atteattended shows, and have sold hundreds of copies of their 7 month old EP". - "They have a totally different sound. Not comparible to really anything. This is a band thats very good at what they do. Their crowd response is phenomenol. It's a unique mix worth attention." -Crystal of Akron-Rocks.co
