T. Nile - Multi-Instrumentalist, Songwriter, Vocalist, Performing & Recording Artist
Since releasing her debut CD At My Table in 2006, T. Nile has toured her "heartfelt emotion and sonic textures" throughout North America and Europe to packed houses and sold out shows. Over the past few summers, she has played the main stages at the Winnipeg & Edmonton Folk Music Festivals for 20,000 people! Quite a ways from her humble beginnings in a tiny cabin on Galiano Island, Tamara was groomed for a musical life; she started out accompanying her father, a multi-instrumentalist sidewalk entertainer, through North America and Australia at the age of six.
At the age of 19, Tamara moved to Vancouver to launch her music career. She began hosting a monthly showcase at the Railway Club called "Connect" while working on her songwriting. In 2006, she recorded and launched At My Table. Reviewers and listeners hailed the up-and-coming artist and her music. Outside Distribution picked it up, and CBC and campus radio fell in love with it. Most notably, T. Nile was awarded "Best New/Emerging Artist" at the Canadian Folk Music Awards. More recently, she was nominated for "Best Contemporary Vocalist". Among the many accolades, Penguin Eggs Magazine named T. Nile "Critic’s Favourite New Discovery."
In 2009, Tamara released The Cabin Song EP. With this album, she expanded on the contemporary folk sound that is uniquely hers, and the seven new songs delivered on every promise At My Table made. Having played at some of North America and Europe's top summer festivals and venues over the past five years, Tamara's momentum continues to build while she records her sophomore LP and prepares for the next wave of touring in support of her upcoming release.
