“Raine Hamilton is an Artist who is taking the traditions developed at our Folk Festivals and moving them forward without losing the original intent. Her music incorporates solid songwriting, trippy soundscapes, Classical sensibilities and socially-conscious attitudes. I can’t wait to see where her paths leads her as an artist and us as her fans! She is a great festival participant as she gets it. A fearless collaborator.” — DOUG COX, AD VANCOUVER ISLAND MUSICFEST Resonant, acoustic chamber folk with an otherworldly edge, and a lyric presence that cuts deep. Prism-clear vocals + strings. Anchored in the ancient mountains, reaching out beyond the earthly.

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.
