Obadiah gets radio play on the alternative station in Sacramento, which is quite a distance from Scottsdale. He's released a CD, he's an artist. I'm removing the Deletion template. -- R'son-W (speak to me/breathe) 21:34, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Is it just me, or is this article more about Weddle than about Obadiah Parker?
Maybe Weddle should have his own article. Or this one should be retitled and someone should write a new Obadiah Parker one. Jeffholton (talk) 19:53, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
Obadiah Parker the band broke up a while ago (2008ish) and Mat Weddle kept the name Obadiah Parker for his solo act. I'd like to update the article to reflect that. Is it ok to use his press release (available on his website: http://obadiahparker.com/pressrelease.pdf) as the source? Clearly I'm new to editing. I want to change the background to solo_singer, remove the "member's list", edit the opening paragraph to say something like this:
Mat Weddle (born January 3, 1983), better known by his stage and recording name Obadiah Parker, is a Singer-songwriter from Scottsdale, Arizona. Obadiah Parker was previously the name of a three person band composed of Mat Weddle (vocals, guitar), Jessie Young (piano/keyboards, trumpet, vocals), and Daniel Zehring (bass, vocals). Together, the band recorded an EP and a live CD, both of which contain a mixture of covers and original material. As a solo act, Weddle has released an EP of covers and a full-length studio album of original material. Weddle also appeared in a viral YouTube video playing an acoustic cover of Outkast's "Hey Ya".
And maybe also add to the description of The Siren and The Saint to include that it is a concept record about Weddle's experience with pornography addiction (also mentioned in the release).
Can I do that? Also totally open to suggestions.
