Rae Spoon

Rae Spoon is a musician, producer, and author. They have released thirteen solo albums spanning folk, country, indie rock, and electronic genres and published three books (Arsenal Pulp Press). Rae has been nominated for two Polaris Prizes, a Lambda Literary Award, and a Western Canadian Music Award. They have toured internationally (Canada, Europe, the USA, Australia, China, Japan, Korea). Rae is a non-binary, trans artist who lives with multiple disabilities. Their newest album, Assigned Country Singer At Birth (2026), marks their return to country music. The album is equally subversive and relatable, a testament to the fact that country music is as expansive as the people who are connected to it. Songs about trans folks, harm reduction, Disability, inclusion, religious trauma, solidarity and opposing colonial land occupation may seem antithetical to traditional country, but they are as much a part of Spoon’s experiences as love songs, trucks and beer.
