Trina Hamlin

with Katie Smith

       

Trina Hamlin combines gentle understanding with raw emotion in a way that is, quite simply, captivating from the first note. With a rich, powerful voice, Hamlin reveals a rare confluence of Midwestern innocence, contemplative focus, and raw passion while adding a disarmingly sharp wit in her stage banter. She seamlessly moves from guitar to piano with self accompaniment on harmonica, presenting a driving, sensuous rhythm in her performance.

Katie Smith's music is a melting pot of blues, folk, and country that blends to create a contemporary style of roots music that cannot be denied.
