Mariel Buckley’s spectacular sophomore full-length album, Driving In The
Dark, delivers on the promise of her previous album, Motorhome (and
then some), as she plants her flag firmly as a songwriter who’s here for the long haul.
Driving In The Dark’s ten songs—led by the singles “Rose Coloured
Frames” and “One Time Asking”—paint poetically plainspoken highs and
lows, long nights and hard days, all filtered through Mariel’s wry,
no-bullshit perspective, and enhanced by the impressive team she
assembled for the recording sessions, led by producer Leeroy Stagger at
his Rebeltone Ranch studio in Lethbridge, Alberta.
From the moment
the Calgary native arrived on the scene with her self-titled EP in 2012
Mariel quickly earned the respect of the Alberta roots music community,
leading to performances in support of her idol k.d. lang, and
entertaining audiences at the province’s major festivals.
Having now
made a powerful statement with Driving In The Dark, Mariel proves she
is an artist truly coming into her own and ready to take on the world.
She could have chosen to chase a slicker, more polished sound built for
radio and arenas, but instead, she doubled down on the grit and the
truth in her music. It’s honesty that brought her to this point, and
honesty that will continue to carry her into the future.
8 p.m. Nuela Charles
http://www.nuelacharles.com
"Canadian sass-pot Nuela Charles is cocked, locked and ready to be shot
onto the world stage with a soulful voice that may one day fill the Amy
Winehouse-shaped holes in everyone’s
hearts. Perhaps Adele’s days as undisputed number one are now finally
numbered, if new single “Crumbling Down,” premiered via The Fader, is
anything to go by." - Metro.co.uk
Nuela Charles is an alternative/soul singer-songwriter known for her soulful vocals and captivating stage presence. Kicking off 2018 with a JUNO Award Nomination for her self-released sophomore album “The Grand Hustle,” she is now gearing up to release her brand new EP thisOctober.
The first single “Do It Right,” (March 2018) co- written and produced by Grammy nominated Rob Kleiner (Andra Day,Sia, Ceelo Green), made a splash in Germany, as it entered the German Airplay Charts (Hochschulsender) Top 100 in May and landed two synch placements on the US National Sports Channel ESPN, adding to the 13 synchs she’s acquired over the last couple of years. It also received support from CBC Music Radio, keeping steady ground in the Top 20 charts for 7 weeks.
With a nod from FADER, a placement on the hit show “Jane the Virgin” and some comfortable real estate on the Canadian CBC Radio 2 charts, Charles has released more of her fiery brand of cinematic soul, on her "Distant Danger" EP
(Oct. 2018) and if her single “Troublemaker” is any indication, it’ll be
your next favourite “no-bark-all-bite” anthem that’s one of the year’s
= best showcases in sass.
