WAH WORKOUT is a monthly, online 90 minute songwriting workshop for people with disabilities, neurodivergence, mental or chronic illness. A set of activities & prompts designed to exercise your creative muscles and get inspired by your fave Naarm musicians... from the comfort of your own homes!

This month your challenges will be designed by country blues star JESS PARKER

With their unique brew of country blues, minor-key sass and Western Swing, Jess and her band know how to sling a tune.

After being nominated for 'Best Regional Act of 2022' by Music Victoria, Parker and her seven-piece band are picking up traction – making a household name for themselves, across Australia and internationally, as bonafide originals - true country gems.

Jess Parker has had a prolific few years, with the release of two albums in three years, Death Songs and Kitchen Spirituals - 2020, and Bread and Butter - 2022, both of which received critical acclaim and led to a string of sold out shows from Melbourne to the state's outer regions.

In 2023, Jess released two superb singles on the independent label Ragged Gum Records – 'Help Myself' and 'Wholesome Prison Blues', both of which received strong national airplay across the Australian community radio network.

Now in 2026, Jess returns with a pair of singles previewing her forthcoming new album Blue Collar Tanline.
