Celeigh Cardinal | AB

With a confident style and boundless energy, Celeigh Cardinal owns a stage, connecting deeply with her audience through humour, passion and love. A 2020 JUNO Indigenous Album of the Year Award-winner for her 2019 recording Stories from a Downtown Apartment, Celeigh is a powerhouse singer-songwriter whose heartfelt, biographical songs are carried by a voice that harkens to the golden era of jazz and blues.

This Métis soul-folk songstress from the Northern Prairies, is “quickly becoming one of the great Canadian voices”.

There’s no more articulate description of this massively talented artist than the praise heaped on her by a fellow musician. “Celeigh Cardinal’s voice brings to mind the deep soul singers of old. She has so much nuance, spirit and tone invested in every note – from sweet and gentle bedtime-folk-melodies to knock-down-drag-out-leave-your-lover wails. Her songs range from ballads and thoughtful reflections on life to road-tripping good-time songs.  Her band and her trio are always first-class players who add lots of great instrumentals and harmonies. I first encountered Celeigh on a Facebook live post and was immediately enchanted. I look forward to more people in the world discovering the pure joy that is a Celeigh Cardinal show.” – Leela Gilday
