Parachute (band)

Peter De Jong and Eric Prum rounded out the lineup when the band started to record their initial EP's.

In the same month, Nate McFarland, a classmate and friend of Anderson's at the University of Virginia, joined the band.

As part of the campaign, Parachute shared the Nivea Countdown Stage with the Jonas Brothers and Taylor Swift in front of over a million people in Times Square for New Year's Eve in 2008.

"Hearts Go Crazy", originally intended as the lead single, was released on iTunes on February 26, 2013 featuring a new electronic direction to the band's sound.

The band promoted "Can't Help" to radio stations, later releasing a music video in support of this single.

In May 2014, Nate McFarland announced on the Parachute Facebook page that he was leaving the band to pursue his MBA at the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business.

From February to March 2010, Parachute rejoined Clarkson for the European leg of her All I Ever Wanted Tour, where they performed for the first time across the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, The Netherlands and Denmark.

In the summer of 2013, the band embarked on a nationwide headlining tour, including 32 dates, in support of their new album Overnight, the majority of which were sell-out shows.

Parachute completed a fifteen stop, national headlining tour in November 2013, this time co-headlining with The Plain White T's.
