***Billie Enforcie*** (real name: ***Jacob Smith***) is a Durand native vocalist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist who has released one full length album and one EP with Ann Arbor acoustic band Good Luck Parker, including *Crows to Canaries* (2013)[1] and *New Tradition* (2015). Good Luck Parker is a duo that consists of Billie Enforcie (vocals) and Nathan "Largecock" Bryant (Guitar). Smith has also released a series of singles on his Soundcloud in early 2016.

## History

### Forming Good Luck Parker and Crows to Canaries (2012-2014)

Smith met Bryant in Ann Arbor, and the duo soon began releasing acoustic covers onto YouTube.Good Luck Parker officially formed on March 5, 2012. After a year or so of tossing ideas around, the two decided to begin working on some original music on "Burger King napkins". They finally released their first full length album, entitled *Crows to Canaries* in March, 2013.

The sound on the record did very little to stray from the essences of the groups' live sound featuring predominate acoustic guitar progressions, vocal harmonies, and occasional minimalist percussion. In promotion for the project, the band performed live at The Yellow Barn on November 21, 2013. During this show Good Luck Parker shared the stage with Zach Stoner who provided bass guitar to help flesh out the band's live sound.

### Work with Great Lakes Feather Company (2014-2015)

During February of 2014, Smith was able to help high-school friend, Miles Winchester on his first EP, *Atlantis* for his project Great Lakes Feather Company. One song was recorded and featured on the album, entitled "Terra". This song is often referenced as one of the best songs on the EP, with its dance-pop attitude and environmentalist message. Winchester and Smith would reunite in October 2015, to perform the song live for the *Odin Release Show*.

### New Tradition EP and solo songs (2015-2016)

On March 7, 2015 Good Luck Parker announced that they were releasing a second EP, entitled *New Tradition* and it was to be released on that same very day. *New Tradition* continued to grow on the sound established on *Crows to Canaries,* with arguably a heavier americana influence. Beginning in January 2016, Smith started releasing self recorded singles. These collection of songs feature a lofi punk sound with 808 inspired drum machines holding the percussion.
