More About Racyne
Racyne Parker is a singer-songwriter offering a fresh, heartfelt approach to country, folk, Americana, and singer-songwriter music. Growing up in Klamath Falls, Oregon, Racyne spent her early years riding horses, working cows, playing sports, and occasionally singing with her dad’s local country-rock band, Raymond Parker and The Lost River Band. It was during this time that her deep love for music developed, and she began dreaming of becoming an artist in her own right.
Racyne’s journey as an artist began in earnest in 2018 when she started performing locally in Southern Oregon. Her debut EP, Tumbleweed Town (2019), marked a pivotal moment in her career, followed by singles like "Fall Too Easy," "Hindsight," and "I'll Keep You." In 2021, she teamed up with her hometown band, The Low Coals, to release the rock-inspired EP Feel It Now, recorded at SoundSmith Studios in Bend, OR.
Recent years have brought significant milestones. After relocating to Denver, CO in 2020, Racyne quickly established herself in the local music scene. During this time, she wrote, recorded, and released her most well-received songs— "Make It Out Alive," "Willow Tree," "Already Late," "Most Likely To Be," and "Summertime Sweet." These tracks earned critical praise and fan support, with "Make It Out Alive" reaching the top 10 in Denver's KTCL Hometown for the Holidays contest, "Already Late" grabbing a review in Earmilk, and and "Most Likely To Be" earning her a finalist spot in the prestigious Planet Bluegrass Telluride Troubadour Contest. These songs will be featured on her full-length album, set for release in early 2025, recorded in collaboration with Nashville producer Randall Kent.
In the summer of 2024, Racyne moved her home base from Denver to Seattle, WA, where she continues to craft music that explores themes of growing up in and leaving a small town, chasing dreams, celebrating family and love, and finding joy in the journey. Influenced by country icons like Keith Urban and Miranda Lambert, as well as folk artists such as Lord Huron and Noah Kahan, Racyne’s sound blends evocative storytelling with emotional authenticity.
From headlining the Klamath Folk Festival and playing county fairs to opening for artists like Kaitlin Butts and Redferrin, Racyne’s music resonates with audiences in both intimate and large venues. Known for her approachable nature on and off stage, she aims to foster a community built around joy, authenticity, and her music.
