Originally from Southern Oregon, Denver based singer-songwriter Racyne Parker draws inspiration from country, modern folk, indie rock, and pop influences, to deliver catchy lyrics, warm vocals, and a contemporary style that fits in well on playlists next to Kacey Musgraves, Taylor Swift, Jewel, and Miranda Lambert. Her songs draw on her experiences with living in and leaving a small town, navigating uncertainty in love and life in her 20s, and finding joy in the little moments.
A performer with a low-stakes, kind, and engaging stage presence, Racyne makes room for story-telling, sing-alongs of cover songs, and making friends throughout her live sets, gigs, and shows. She's grateful for any chance she gets to perform and is happy to have you along for the ride!
Racyne released her debut single, “I'm a Mess”, in January of 2019 and her sophomore single, “Tumbleweed Town” in June of 2019. Released in August of 2019, her debut EP Tumbleweed Town is a collection of five country songs that give a nod to the country sounds of her youth. Throughout 2019, Racyne could be found playing shows ranging from small solo-acoustic coffee shop gigs to larger full-band shows at bars and restaurants, folk festivals, and County Fairs.

Kicking off 2021 with live drums, a fresh bassline, easy guitar licks, an occasional synth, and pop-esque piano sprinkled in, her latest single, "I'll Keep You" is the first love song that Racyne has released. The live band sound, quick lyrics, and catchy chorus were essential to creating a fun and light track that feel sunny, bright, and optimistic.
In March of 2022, Racyne Parker teamed up with Southern Oregon funk/rock band The Low Coals to release a three-song EP, Feel It Now, filled with grit, growl, and honest lyricism.

“Here in the Middle” opens on a mellow, haunting guitar, followed by the entry of Parker’s deliciously inflected voice, at once velvety and intoxicating imbuing the lyrics with hints of disquiet, It’s one of those exquisite voices full of subtle nuances and vibrant tones. An alluring rhythm gives the tune a compelling feel and flow as gleaming guitars merge with a sighing steel guitar, infusing the harmonics with stylish flavors and creamy leitmotifs."
- Guitar Girl Magazine
"Now while there are certainly glimmers of folk that show themselves quite clearly, we personally enjoyed just how rock-leaning this all came out to be. If anything, the band shows off an impressive versatility from song to song, showing their strengths off in how to correctly structure a song. The moods continuously shift, but the cohesion in these songs from start to finish are as together as can be. Although there’s different styles at play, you know it’s all coming from the same record and not jumping around just for the sake of it. It also gives the listener that overwhelming feeling to listen, learn those lyrics, and belt them out as loud as possible on a long car ride!"

Thank you, I’m so glad that you enjoy it! I think that “I’ll Keep You” is an easy, fun, bop-of-a-song that pulls you in and invites you into a moment of sunshine, summertime, smiles, and love. That’s why I think people will want to hear it – this year has certainly been heavy, and this song provides you with 3 minutes and 50 seconds of levity, lightness, and relief that I think we could all use right now.

- Katrina Leibee, Denver Westword

"The five songs feature attractive melodies and lyrics that ring of a sincere songwriter writing about her own experience...Parker writes interesting lyrics that talk about life, love and the pursuit of it even through the ups and downs."
- Nolan Conghaile, C.U.R. Country
"‘I’m A Mess’ is a promise of sorts. It’s the thought of looking at the small things in life that could matter more. Simple, well kept, edges with an indication of wariness, Racyne’s vocals tie her lyrics into drifts of wood, wandering down a creek in a summer’s late afternoon. She tells us that ‘if you are a mess…this one is for you’. The uplifting single of challenges and recognition for action, is the gift of the new track."
