Casandra Carson -Paralandra

Paralandra formed in the summer of 2013 when Casandra Carson and her dad, Paul Carson, began writing songs together to play a one-time event at their local county 4th of July celebration. The response was so positive, and they enjoyed it so much, they decided to continue booking shows and writing songs. They recorded and released a homemade CD titled Rise Up; which sold over 1,000 copies at local shows. Shortly after, friend and local musician, Sawyer Rikard, joined the band on bass guitar in 2015, bringing their stage sound and performance to another level. In March of 2016, they released a follow-up EP, All Fall Down, which debuted #1 on the BIllboard Heatseekers chart. They soon began touring and being invited to festivals such as Rocklahoma, SXSW, Rockfest, Dirtfest, Loud in Lima, etc.2024 has arguably been Paralandra‘s biggest year to date. They began with the release of “Dirty Love”, the first single off their new album, which was paired with an epic and highly entertaining music video in classic Paralandra fashion. They promptly hit the road, headlining the Winter Heat Tour which lead them down to Key West, FL, where they performed at RokIsland Fest alongside bands like Winger, Brett Michaels, Night Ranger, LA Guns, Mr Big, and Stone Temple Pilots, and jamming with musicians from bands like Trixter, E’Nuff Z’Nuff, and Wigwam. Paralandra shows no signs of slowing down as their streaming numbers continue to climb, tours continue to be booked, and new music continues to be written.#casandracarson #metalqueen #paralandrarocks #metalfans #metal
