Formed in 2006, Parachute became a pop-rock sensation when their first major release, Losing Sleep, debuted at number 40 on Billboard 200 and as number 2 on Digital Albums chart. Many still remember Will Anderson‘s and Johnny Stubblefield‘s high school band and predecessor to Parachute, Sparky’s Flaw, which played everywhere in the Charlottesville area.
