Raine Hamilton with Bicycle Face and Joanna Hawkins

UMFM Presents
Raine is part prairie songstress, part storyweaver; Each song has a story, delivered between songs with humour and grace. Raine invites deep love of the violin into the singer-songwriter genre, writing for violin and voice, as well as for guitar and voice. Joined by cello and upright bass, expect string arrangements that push and pull, that move as they console.
Raine’s latest work, the full-length album Brave Land (2021−22), is a concept album about mountains, and the courage, wisdom, and otherworldly connection they represent.
Raine is the recipient of the 2018 Canadian Folk Music Award for Emerging Artist of the Year! Raine has toured Canada extensively, driving, flying, and floating coast to coast. Highlights include performances with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, Manitoba Chamber Orchestra, and playing festivals across Canada (Vancouver Folk Festival, Vancouver Island Music Fest, Atlin Festival, Home County, Filberg Fest, Lilac Fest, Harvest Moon, Trout Forest).
