Gabe Parsons dropped his new single, ‘Hurricane’s Back’, on May 30, 2025, giving fans a first real taste of his debut album, Long Road Traveler, due later this year. The New Orleans-bred Folk Rock talent, polished at Loyola University’s School of Music Industry, has been tearing up the Northeast with over 60 shows in the last 12 months. Highlights include a high-octane set at the French Quarter Festival and joining the Crowe Boys on their nationwide trek. Channeling the spirit of Bruce Springsteen and the dreamy edge of Lord Huron, Parsons is cementing his spot in the genre with a sound that sticks.

The track itself, ‘Hurricane’s Back’, is a bold opener for Long Road Traveler, blending youthful fire, love’s pull, and the thrill of the unknown. It plants two key characters at the album’s heart, their journey unfolding across the record. Drawing from Parsons’ New Jersey pals, the lyrics capture restless souls chasing something bigger, set to a mix of Folk Rock’s earthy drive and indie’s atmospheric swirl—a sonic combo that feels both timeless and urgent.

“I wanted it to feel joyful and just a little rebellious,” Parsons explains, tracing the song’s roots to a standout New York City gig that lit the fuse. ‘Hurricane’s Back’ doubles as a love letter to his past and a launchpad for his future, revving up anticipation for Long Road Traveler. Parsons is on the move, and this single proves he’s got the chops to keep climbing.
