Rae Isla is an independent singer-songwriter and musician from Bainbridge, Island, WA, now based in Los Angeles. Drawing from her early years playing classical cello, learning piano and guitar as a teenager, and attending Berklee College of Music on a vocal scholarship, Rae weaves together a unique blend of folk, indie rock and alt-country influences to create lush, evocative songs.

She is inspired by John Prine, Linda Rondstadt, Joni Mitchell and Sierra Ferrell – expect to hear at least a few cover songs from these songwriting legends! Her 2021 debut album, Another Life, garnered critical acclaim with features in Rolling Stone and Billboard, and charted #27 on NACC radio. Her newly released sophomore album, New Frontier – featuring fan favorites like “Miles and Miles” and “Free to Love” – marks an evolution in her artistry as a songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist and visual storyteller.

Rae’s voice has also reached new audiences through film and television. She performed the lead original song for Ezra, a feature film starring Robert DeNiro and Rose Byrne, and composed the theme for the upcoming docuseries SCENE: SILVER LAKE. Known as a “traveling bard,” Rae’s live performances are both intimate and immersive, sharing fantastical storeis from the road and creating a communal experience that breaks down the barrier between artist and audience. A burgeoning American songwriter in her own right, Rae’s ability to blend honest and intimate storytelling with cinematic arrangement will draw you in and keep you there.

“My new favorite musician/artist on Whidbey Island … Tami Smith … playing with Rick Vander Kam and Open Road. She plays the cello … killer clarinet … gorgeous and soulful vocals … and now the saxaphone … Rick has a ton of extra guitars so my guess is that is next. She brings creativity … passion … and spice to the stage…” — Dennis Brown (Facebook after recent performance at Bailey’s Corner).
