Heartfelt storytelling & lyricism, earnest vocals, engaging stage presence.

Racyne Parker is a Seattle- and Denver-based singer-songwriter whose music blends country, folk, and Americana with heartfelt storytelling and emotional authenticity. Rooted in her small-town Oregon upbringing—and shaped by early performances with her dad’s country-rock band—her songs explore themes of home, ambition, self-discovery, and joy.
Since launching her career in 2018, Racyne has released a steady stream of well-received singles, including “Make It Out Alive” and “Most Likely To Be,” known for their warm vocals, honest lyricism, and melodic charm. Her debut full-length album, Will You Go With Me? (2025), was praised in Bandcamp’s Best Country Music roundup as “open and inviting, meticulously crafted, ultra-melodic and uplifting… about as radio-ready as roots music gets.”
Racyne is a recognized songwriter, earning finalist honors in several major contests, including the Telluride Troubadour Contest, Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Songwriter Competition, and Rocky Mountain Folks Festival Songwriter Showcase.
With influences ranging from Kacey Musgraves and Brandi Carlile to Lord Huron and Gregory Alan Isakov, she delivers songs and performances that are both approachable and resonant—whether on festival stages, in intimate venues, or across streaming platforms.

"Seattle has a reputation as a rainy place, and it is. But summers there are glorious: comfortably warm, crisp air, and (most of the time) sunny blue skies. Racyne Parker’s brand of cinematic Americana music feels similar: It is open and inviting, meticulously crafted, ultra-melodic and uplifting. Will You Go With Me? is a set of songs about small towns, big dreams, self-discovery, and tackling life head-on, and it’s about as radio-ready as roots music gets."
- Ben Salmon, Bandcamp Daily
“Song is so catchy, with very addictive melodies and beautiful lead vocal. It style feels like an homage to the older sound, as its atmosphere really get under your skin, impressive feat for the songs on first listening moment. Great production, crystal clear and arrangement is done perfectly. ”
- Nagamag
"Most Likely To Be takes us on a nostalgic trip down memory lane with melodic guitars, ear-candy tones, and mandolin touches that blend seamlessly with smooth rhythms. The song paints a vivid picture of small-town characters at their 10-year high school reunion, each with a unique story of overcoming hardships and finding unexpected joy."
- Sounds on the Couch
"A complicated tale unfurled by energetic storytelling, the compelling but feel-good offering showcases Parker’s emotive and upbeat indie-folk signature as she sets herself up as an up-and-comer in the Denver music scene."
- Malvika Padin, EARMILK
"With delicate vocals, ambient pedal steel, simmering mandolin, and enchanting guitar riffs, the song weaves a tale of wistful nostalgia and enduring love. Willow Tree finds its place alongside artists like Taylor Swift and Maggie Rogers, delivering a soul-stirring experience for listeners."
- Last Day Deaf
"The song’s well written lyrics explore facing one’s demons, finding resolution and solace. This is a tale about change and development, of letting go of resentment and the person you had to be in order to become the person you were always meant to be. Racyne Parker’s Make It Out Alive is simply a gorgeous track, filled with lush instrumentation and soul stirring vocals."
