About Us:

​

Parking Garage is a rock power trio hailing from Milledgeville, Georgia, with Nathan Whatley on guitar, Dakota Snow on bass, and Zach Ross on drums. It all started in 2017 as a passion project between Whatley and Snow in high school, recording for countless hours on Whatley's Blue Snowball microphone in Snow's grandma's spare room. The band's name came from the songs Snow wrote while waiting in the parking garage to see his dying grandfather in the hospital. This culminated on the album Jaguar, where depressing subjects were paired with poppy hooks.

Wanting to perform this set live, Whatley and Snow recruited Casey O'Neal, a college friend, in late 2018 to play drums. They recorded two EP with O'Neal: Summer Bummer EP in 2020, produced by Jesse Mangum, and If We Haven't Said It Already in 2022, produced by Tommy Trautwein on Well Kept fame. Both EPs show Parking Garage's willingness to bounce from genre to genre within alternative rock, developing what they have continued to refer to as "salt rock."

Eventually, O'Neal left the band in 2022 a few months after If We Haven't Said It Already was released to focus on his graduate studies. He was soon replaced by Zach Ross on drums, who would be first featured on the 12-minute epic of a single "Six Finger Handshake" in 2023, produced again by Tommy Trautwein. Around this time, Snow's fiancé Rafal was officially added to the band on trumpet, adding a unique layer to the salt rock showcased prior. Having played over 20 shows in 2023, Parking Garage is looking to do even bigger things for 2024, including a soon to be announced album produced largely by Stephen Ledbetter.
