PRAIRIE SONGSTRESS RAINE HAMILTON RELEASES 'NIGHT SKY' ANNOUNCES TOUR DATES playing MB, SK, AB, BC & ON
Resonant, acoustic chamber folk with an otherworldly edge, and a lyric presence that cuts deep. Prism-clear vocals and strings; A combination of vocal agility and power.
“Raine Hamilton was an asset to the artistic vision of our festival 2015. Raine is a talented singer, songwriter, and musician. She is also a delight to deal with professionally.” - Darin Adison, Artistic Director of Home County Festival, London ON
“Raine Hamilton delivered an incredibly engaging set of music that connected with a wide audience. Raine has a unique stage presence thanks to a genuine delivery of her songs, plus some quick wit. She even joined William Prince during his set and accompanied him on violin." - Stu Anderson, AD Prairie Wind Festival
“Raine Hamilton is an artist to keep your eye on. Her trajectory up into skilled artist and humorous raconteur has been swift and awe inspiring. Raine's professionalism - combined with a purity of voice and solid playing - makes her a good bet for any show." Heather Bishop, Artist, Order of Canada
SOUNDS LIKE: A string quartet + Sarah Harmer + Joni Mitchell
About NIGHT SKY

Raine Hamilton Bio
Raine’s ethereal voice and lyrics are at the forefront of these powerful and relatable tunes, written both in English and in French. Alongside cello + double bass, and with Raine on violin or guitar, these songs have a moving string quartet feel with a cosmic reach.
Raine is also a charming and funny storyteller, pairing her vulnerable tunes with engaging story intros. Raine believes that music is for everyone, and that we all have something to share. An experienced educator, Raine offers workshops in songwriting and fiddle tune writing (EN/FR). Raine also offers concerts with American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation, to help make live music and the community that comes with it accessible to the Deaf community.
Raine has toured Canada extensively, driving, flying, and floating her way coast to coast. Highlights include: Performing songs with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra (3 times!), playing a concert in a cave (10 stories below the earth!), playing festivals across Canada (Home County, Filberg Fest, Lilac Fest, The Works, Harvest Sun, Harvest Moon, Trout Forest), playing for her passage on Via Rail, and meeting so many amazing humans along the way. She reports a full and smiling heart.
