ABOUT Parker Millsap

Genre: Folk / Rock

Parker Millsap quickly made a name for himself with his captivating live performances, soulful sound, and character-driven narratives. He’s had a string of successes including an appearance on CONAN, a performance with Elton John at the Apple Music Festival, an Austin City Limits taping & an Americana Music Association nomination for Album of the Year. He’s shared the stage with folks like Jason Isbell, Shovels & Rope, Patty Griffin, Houndmouth, and many others.

Parker’s early releases showcased a mastery of acoustic folk rock, with their flourish for revelation and fiery dynamics. Be Here Instead, Millsap’s 2021 release produced by John Agnello, hinted at the wildness to come while exploring newer, more personal songwriting styles. Parker’s newest album, Wilderness Within You, is a natural step in Parker’s evolution which interweaves threads of his musical past and newer influences to gorgeous effect.

OPENER: Clay Rose

Clay Rose is the lead singer and songwriter for Boulder-based bands, Gasoline Lollipops, and The Widow’s Bane. Although his career as a band leader has spanned a decade, his solo songwriting career began in 1997. He has written and released 10 all-original albums to date. Clay Rose’s ability to tell stories that seamlessly cross genres from folk, to punk, to klezmer, to country has won him an array of awards. These include: 105.5 The Colorado Sound’s Best Local Band award for 2021 and 2022, Best Country Band Award, by Westword Magazine 2015 and 2018, as well as Colorado Daily’s Best Local Band award for 2015, 2016, and 2017.

In 2020 Rose released Gasoline Lollipops’ 6th album, All The Misery Money Can Buy, at Red Rocks Amphitheatre to national critical acclaim. Gasoline Lollipops released their pandemic album, Nightmares at the Boulder Theater in 2022 to a full house. In 2018 Rose was commissioned by Wonderbound Ballet Company in Denver to write a full-length ballet using all original music written for his other band, The Widow’s Bane. The following year Wonderbound commissioned a 2nd full-length ballet set to the music of Gasoline Lollipops entitled, The Sandman. Wonderbound will be opening their 2023 season with a reprise of The Sandman. Rose is also working with acclaimed Colorado play write, Doug Vincent, to revise and recreate his award-winning one-man play, Heart of Grace, which they will be touring coast to coast in late fall of 2023. The play strongly features Clay’s solo music. In addition to all of this, Rose is also in preproduction of his first full-length solo album, as well as his third all-original ballet.
