Nikki Lemire Nikki Lemire spins her life around her music, making space to perform in multiple fields and genres. Her songwriting features her expressive vocals over layered and hypnotic accompaniment. She dives deep into moving themes surrounding motherhood, love and loss. Employing modern harp techniques, loop and electric pedals, her songs sit somewhere between the old folk bedrock of Joan Baez, the musical innovation of Joni Mitchell, and the influential pop stylings of Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift. Nikki artfully shapes the music to her words, creating a sound that refuses to adhere to any one particular genre, somehow feeling old and new at the same time. Nikki also won second place with her song “Let the Rain Come In” during the Duluth Dylan Fest 2023 Songwriting Competition. Recently Nikki has been performing as an opener and recording collaborator with various songwriters including Charlie Parr, Matthew French, Taylor James Donskey, Molly Maher, Sarah Morris, Katy Tessman and Maygen & The Birdwatcher.
