British Columbia native Tamara Nile, aka T. Nile, comes to our stage poised to release her much anticipated sophomore album, Coming Back From Everything. There is little doubt that her new album, much like her debut, will delight listeners with the lush sounds of her country-tinged folk music. In creating her sound, T. Nile draws on influences as far-reaching as Bob Marley, Gillian Welch, and Dock Boggs. The reggae beats sprinkled into some of her country melodies give the music a unique edge that at times makes it hard for you to stop yourself from getting up to dance. 

T. Nile, adept at playing the guitar, mandolin, harmonica, and the claw-hammer banjo, is a performer’s performer. She’s played with the likes of Blackie and The Rodeo Kings, Corb Lund, Luke Doucet, and David Francey. Her career started at the age of six when she accompanied her busker father to sidewalk shows throughout North America. Now fully entrenched in her own career, T. Nile is receiving the recognition she deserves. Once named the Best New/Emerging Artist at the Canadian Folk Music Awards, T. Nile returned last year, nominated in the Best Contemporary Vocalist category. She was also recently named the Critic’s Favourite New Discovery in Penguin Eggs magazine. 

When T. Nile performs, you’ll wish you could take a ride to the see the places and meet the people she’s singing about. Hers is a show that will keep you tapping your feet for a long time.
