The Shadbolt Centre for the Arts presents Mariel Buckley on November 18 at 8 pm at the Shadbolt’s Studio Theatre and via livestream.
MARIEL BUCKLEY IS a fast-rising singer-songwriter who’s putting her own fresh spin on Americana.
The Calgary-based artist is beholden neither to old-school country experts nor neo-Nashville pop stars, “writing something raw and unique for the dreamers and the underdogs”.
After the release of her acclaimed 2018 sophomore album, Driving in the Dark, Buckley worked on various releases over the course of the pandemic: “No Surprise”; a two-song EP called 97 Riverdale; and a new LP. Next year, she’ll launch Everywhere I Used To Be, an album featuring heavy synth pads, pedal steel, and angst-ridden alt-folk/rock.
PopMatters has described her style like this: “With her sun-washed, melodic Americana music, Calgary’s Mariel Buckley is poised to make her mark. There’s an inherent poignancy in the way she carries her smoky vocals across nostalgic arrangements and thought-provoking lyricism.”
