This weekend, the dance floor at The Grizzly Rose is getting a dose of international country flair. Canadian country riser Alli Walker is bringing her high-energy tour to Denver this Friday at 8:00 p.m. (doors at 6:00 p.m.), and if you’ve never experienced bagpipes at a country show before — buckle up.
Walker isn’t your typical Nashville story. Hailing from Prince Edward Island, she grew up surrounded by Celtic traditions and East Coast storytelling. Instead of leaving that heritage behind, she fused it into her sound. The result? A bold blend of modern country hooks, pop-rock punch, and the unmistakable wail of bagpipes layered over arena-ready anthems.

Over the past few years, Walker has steadily built a following across North America, earning attention for both her powerhouse vocals and her ability to command a stage. Her 2023 album Growing Up showcased her evolution as a songwriter, balancing radio-friendly country with personal, reflective lyrics. It’s the kind of record that feels equally at home on a summer highway drive or blasting through venue speakers on a Friday night.
The Grizzly Rose — a legendary staple of the city’s country scene — has long been a proving ground for touring acts. With its massive dance floor, neon glow and boots-on-wood energy, it’s a venue built for artists who can keep the crowd moving. Walker’s set is expected to lean into that vibe: big choruses, crowd participation and at least one goosebump-inducing bagpipe breakdown.
Colorado crowds tend to show up strong for country artists who bring something a little different, and Walker fits that mold perfectly. She bridges traditional influences with contemporary production — think Nashville polish with East Coast soul.
Whether you’re a longtime country fan or just looking for a lively night out in Denver, this show promises more than the standard honky-tonk formula. Alli Walker doesn’t just perform — she creates a moment.
