Unapologetically genuine, wry, and soft-hearted
Mariel Buckley is an acclaimed songwriter whose angst-driven alt-folk is rooted in Canada’s country and rodeo culture. Her songs explore relationships, uncertainty, change and the messy realities of being human, brought to life with sharp storytelling and an unmistakable voice.
Her latest album, Strange Trip Ahead, won the 2026 JUNO Award for Contemporary Roots Album of the Year. The album features her soulful voice and emotionally honest songwriting.
“…it is full of good songs with great ‘earworm’ melodies and catchy choruses” – Americana UK
“Buckley’s voice is velvety, soulful and rich with melancholy, as we hear her move through scenes of self-doubt and the aching search for meaning in small, ordinary places.” – Line of Best Fit
“Buckley’s work is melancholy in tone, but hook-laden in arrangements. The result is a driving, swooning catharsis, with laser-sharp vocals and an angst-ridden delivery.” – Words & Music (SOCAN Magazine)
