Parking Lot Prophet

Parking Lot Prophet is the solo project of 26-year-old guitarist and songwriter Alex Rivera from Columbus, Ohio. Drawing inspiration from the midwest emo revival and math rock traditions, Rivera crafts intricate instrumental compositions punctuated by deeply personal lyrics about small-town ennui and finding meaning in mundane spaces. Their songs often reference specific Ohio locations and experiences, creating a sense of geographic intimacy that resonates with listeners far beyond the midwest.
