PINER WITH GUESTS FINBAR WALL + IRRESPONSIBLE PURCHASE — LIVE AT MILLS HARDWARE!
Piner (Claya Way Brackenbury) is a singer-songwriter based in Katarokwi (Kingston,ON) who steps into the stories of others and connects listeners with all the complexities of the greater human experience. Piner’s latest album, A Netherworld, recorded at Joel Plaskett’s Studio in Dartmouth, NS, is a project of hope and yearning, during fractured, challenging times. Piner creates a world of connection, care, and change through her songwriting and direct action for charitable initiatives. In A Netherworld, Piner continues to dream of a way forward, to see a new world built from compassion, contemplation and collective care. Piner brought attention and organized events to create care and community for healthcare professionals, raised donations for the Mi’kma’ki Water Walk in NS, worked with the Mutual Aid Garden Network in Kingston to address food insecurity, and raised awareness about the current national housing crisis. After the release of A Netherworld, Piner toured opening for and sharing festivals/show bills with Georgia Harmer, Terra Lightfoot, Charlotte Cornfield, Crash Test Dummies, Skye Wallace, Mo Kenney and more. In 2025, Piner was selected for the prestigious Winnipeg Folk Festival Young Performers Program.
