Trinity Nay

Trinity was born and raised in San Francisco by beatniks. Her father was a political songwriter, collage artist, and union truck driver for the local newspaper. Her mother was a UC Berkeley alumna and former member of Michael McClure era Magic Theater turned homemaker, turned union electrician. Trinity was the last of three daughters, hence the name. Her family was passionate about politics and issues of injustice. Conversations at the kitchen table centered around topics that most families would have preferred to avoid and the home environment inspired exploration of complex issues through creative mediums. 

Trinity studied voice and acting at the Ruth Asawa School of the Arts and the Pacific Conservatory for the Performing Arts. She later studied audio production and electronic music at City College of San Francisco with the goal of independently producing her original songs. Her audio instructor and mentor, Terri Winston, encouraged her to collaborate with the other teaching assistant in the department. That collaboration was the birth of what would become Out Damned Spot, a four-piece alternative rock band. Their self-titled album is available on all major streaming services. 

These days, Trinity trains students in live sound and event support. She performs her original songs live on acoustic guitar around the Monadnock Region. She recently was a featured performer at the Outstanding Women of New Hampshire Awards and performed sets at the 2023 and 2024 Keene Music Festival. Her current album project (release date TBA) Grateful: A Postpartum Lullaby, explores reproductive trauma. Approached from a perspective of theater and storytelling, the album draws upon the breadth of her artistic background.
