More About Naomi Crain

from Naomi Crain Music
Naomi is a singer/songwriter in the “chick with acoustic guitar genre”, who has released two albums and enjoyed co-writing with several other acts across the nearly 30 years since she first started writing music while studying songwriting and music production at university. Her songs wear Bono’s leather, Patty Griffin’s dresses and Ani Difranco’s boots, though in her heart there lies a little of Taylor Swift’s sparkles as well.

These days Naomi finds creative outlet in her graphic design work, her song critiquing service and a small obsession with furniture renovation. The faint gurgles of new songs are slowly being heeded and she hopes these might find her back on a stage soon.
