About Marieo Multi Parrish
A natural talent, Marieo “Multi” Parrish has been singing and performing since he was 8 years old. Because of his ability to sing, play sax and write songs, he was dubbed “Multi”, the guy who can do it all.
Multi signed with Day 6 Entertainment Group in 2013 and released his first single on the label “Tupelo Honey”, a Van Morrison cover in May. The song was well received and Multi shot a music video for the single not long after. The video won Best Music Video in the 2013 South Alabama Film Festival and further solidified Multi as one of the best up and coming artists on the Gulf Coast.
We first heard about this performer from Town of Woodstock Chief of Police Len Price, who became a big fan after seeing his performance in Mobile, Alabama. Get ready for an evening of combined soulful hits from the last two decades. The Standout Band will accompany Mr. Parrish.

About the Southbound Revelers
Hailing from the heart of Tuscaloosa, this dynamic band—comprised of Bowen Woods, Clint Woods, Fletcher Smith, and Bus Payne—has been on a thrilling musical journey since their high school days.
It all began with Bus and Fletcher, who picked up guitars during their freshman year and discovered an undeniable passion for making music. Before long, the duo was harmonizing and writing together, sparking the creation of a sound all their own. Bowen Woods soon joined the crew as the powerhouse drummer, and the trio began to carve their way through the local music scene.
Originally known as The Basement Band, (a nod to their humble beginnings jamming in a basement), they soon realized they needed a name that matched their growing sound. Enter Clint Woods, who later joined the group on bass to complete their perfect musical storm. Fast forward to July 2024, and they started electrifying audiences around town.
With four original tracks now streaming on all platforms, these rising stars show no signs of slowing down. Their energy is infectious, their music a blend of soul, rock, and raw passion, and there’s much more on the horizon.
Joining this stellar lineup as the newly announced special guest is rising star Gracie Harris.
A native of Jasper, Alabama, Gracie has been singing since she could walk and talk, with a deep-rooted passion for music that began with visits to the Grand Ole Opry before her first birthday.
At just 8 years old, she taught herself to play the guitar, and by 14, she was performing local gigs around her hometown.
Now, at only 18, Gracie has played over 170 shows across Alabama and Nashville, captivating audiences at festivals, veteran events, and more. She’s also a decorated competitor in the Miss America Teen organization, a former state-level cheerleader with a 5A championship title, and a longtime dancer.
This fall, she’ll join the University of North Alabama as a member of The Roar dance team, majoring in the Entertainment Industry with a minor in Communications. While preparing for high school graduation, she’s also writing original music, aiming to inspire others through her deep faith and love of country music.
The Woodstock Music Festival promises to be a memorable event for all ages. Come for the music—stay for the community.
