T. Nile Since releasing her debut CD, "At My Table" in July of '06, T. Nile has toured her "unique and heartfelt sonic textures" through Canada, The USA, Germany, Denmark, France, Holland, and Belgium to packed houses and sold out shows. Last summer, she played on the main stage for 15,000 people at the Winnipeg Folk Music Festival! 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 6.
At 19, Nile moved to Vancouver to see if she could launch a music career. She took to hanging out at the Railway Club, getting to know people, swapping songs and ideas. Eventually she began hosting a monthly showcase at the Railway Club called "Connect".
Meanwhile, she was working on her songwriting, putting together everything she had learned at home, and away from home. In spring of 2006, she recorded and launched "At My Table". Reviewers and listeners hailed the CD and its songs. Festival (Now Outside) Distribution picked it up and CBC and campus radio fell in love with it. Most notably, T. Nile was awarded the title of "Best New/Emerging Artist" at the Canadian Folk Music Awards, as well as being named "Critic's Favorite New Discovery" in Penguin Eggs. More recently, Nile was nominated for "Best Contemporary Vocalist" once again at the Canadian Folk Music Awards.
In late spring of 2009, Tamara released "The Cabin Song EP". With Cabin Song, Nile continued to build and create a contemporary folk sound that was uniquely hers and the seven new songs delivered on every promise that “At My Table” made.
Having played at some of North America's top summer festivals and live music venues over the past three years, Nile momentum continues to build while she records her new LP and prepares for the next wave of touring through Canada, Europe and The USA, in support of her upcoming her new release. |
