Piner (Claya Way Brackenbury) is a singer-songwriter based in Katarokwi (Kingston, ON, Canada) who steps into the stories of others and connects listeners with all the complexities of the greater human experience. Piner blends confessional songwriting with gritty guitar and tender melodies that invites both reflection and resistance. Piner’s album "A Netherworld", recorded at Joel Plaskett’s studio in Dartmouth, NS, is a project rooted in hope and yearning amid fractured, challenging times. Through intimate songwriting and direct-action charitable initiatives, Piner creates a world of connection, care, and change. Piner has opened for and shared festival and show bills with Georgia Harmer, Terra Lightfoot, Charlotte Cornfield, Ombiigizi, Mo Kenney, Crash Test Dummies and more. Piner was selected for the prestigious Winnipeg Folk Festival Young Performers Program. Her most recent single, “Odelia,” is a powerful pop/rock track rooted in storytelling that confronts gender inequality, inherited expectations, and the radical act of self-trust.
