Mariel Buckley
Edmonton, AB
Mariel Buckley’s signature brand of angst-ridden alt-folk has quickly established her as one of the most satiating artists with a modern take on roots music. Buckley’s refreshing and reaffirming candor has enraptured audiences since the release of her 2018 debut album, Driving In The Dark. Produced by Marcus Paquin, 2023’s Everywhere I Used to Be continues Buckley’s musical evolution as it resonates with gritty emo-esque guitars, driving deep-grooves, soaring pedal guitar and synths, buoyed by Buckley’s charmingly vulnerable honey-soaked vocals, all replete with dogged determination and purpose.
