Gwenifer Raymond

Pay-what-you-can tickets at the door.

Gwenifer has sold out across Europe and Canada. 3 Toronto shows sold out, both Vancouver shows - this isn't one to miss.

Gwenifer Raymond is a Welsh-born, Brighton-based guitarist whose fiery fingerstyle playing has earned her a devoted following around the world. Her music draws from the American Primitive tradition pioneered by John Fahey, infused with pre-war blues, Celtic myth, and a streak of folk-horror atmosphere. The result is a sound at once timeless and fiercely modern, carrying the listener through haunted landscapes and luminous melodies.

She began playing guitar as a child, first inspired by Nirvana and punk bands before finding her way into the raw roots of Delta blues and Appalachian folk. Over the years she has forged a style that is wholly her own, marked by dazzling technical command, hypnotic open tunings, and a darkly cinematic sense of storytelling.

Raymond has released three acclaimed albums on Tompkins Square — You Never Were Much of a Dancer (2018), Strange Lights Over Garth Mountain (2020), and Last Night I Heard the Dog Star Bark (2025). Each record deepens her reputation as one of today’s most compelling and original instrumental voices.

We’re honoured to have her play Mayne at The 44.
