Grayson Ratliff
Grayson Ratliff is a 23-year-old Folk-Country singer-songwriter from Divide, Colorado. With raw lyrics and catchy melodies, his music captures the ache of growing pains, heartbreak, and healing told from the perspective of someone who’s lived it. Inspired by the likes of Dermot Kennedy, Noah Kahan, and Sam Barber, Grayson’s sound blends vulnerability and grit, turning personal stories into universal anthems.
At the heart of his music is a message for the unheard. Grayson writes for the ones who would die to be heard, but are too introverted to leave their comfort zones. For the over thinkers, the quiet ones, the ones who feel everything but say nothing as he too struggles with these. Through his songs, he hopes to give them a voice and the courage to live unapologetically.
Grayson is a passionate advocate for mental health awareness. His music doesn’t just reflect struggles; it creates space for healing. By sharing his truth openly, he encourages others to embrace their own stories, flaws and all.
Whether it’s a packed venue or a quiet bedroom speaker, Grayson’s goal is the same: to connect deeply, remind people they’re not alone, and inspire them to be 100% themselves no filters, no fronts, just real.
Parker Gentry
Parker is a Colorado-born country artist whose raw authenticity and rich baritone voice have quickly set him apart in the digital age. Hailing from Greeley, he first began building momentum on TikTok and Instagram with simple, stripped-down acoustic covers that resonated far beyond his hometown. Without flashy edits or overproduced visuals, just Parker and his guitar, his honest delivery helped grow an audience of tens of thousands and opened unexpected doors in the industry.
“It’s been a crazy journey that has brought opportunities I never imagined for a kid from Greeley,” Parker shares.
What started as encouragement from friends and family soon turned into viral traction, leading to a management deal with Dylan Bourne and his team and regular trips to Nashville to collaborate with established songwriters and producers. While Parker initially gained attention covering modern country favorites; from Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine” to Zach Bryan’s “28”. He has increasingly shifted focus to original material, teasing upcoming releases crafted alongside his Nashville collaborators.
Though social media sparked his rise, the stage solidified his purpose. After playing his first show at a small festival outside his hometown in August 2023, Parker knew music was more than a hobby. “I was nervous as hell before getting on stage,” he says, “but the moment I stepped up there, I fell in love with it.” Since then, his mission has been clear: write songs that impact others the way music has impacted him and perform as often as possible to connect with listeners face-to-face.
Deeply rooted in Greeley’s blue-collar culture, Parker’s songwriting carries the heartbeat of dairy farmers, ranchers, oil workers, and the hardworking families who shaped him. “My roots run deep in its soil,” he says. “My family, friends, and the stories I write about have all come from here.”
With a move to Nashville on the horizon, new industry connections forming, and plans to release his debut singles and first EP this year, Parker stands on the edge of a breakthrough moment. Grounded in gratitude and driven by passion, he’s ready to take his music from Colorado stages to audiences nationwide, and he’s just getting started.

The Black Buzzard at Oskar Blues Denver is a music venue born out of a drink and a conversation about the old Denver music scene. Created by Kellner Schoenke at their Longmont restaurant, The Black Buzzard drink fused bacon-infused bourbon and ten fidy imperial stout. Chef and Oskar Blues fooderies partner, Jason Rogers, shared a sip with Kellner, and they realized they had both frequented the same closed blues bar on 16th and Market Street, Brendan's. Years later, Brendan's became available, and it seemed like the perfect time to put some music back into the heart of LoDo. They named the venue after the drink that started it all. Today, located blocks away from Coors Field and Union Station, The Black Buzzard at Oskar Blues Denver hosts buzz-worthy musicians of all genres from Denver and beyond.
