Unapologetically genuine, wry, and soft-hearted — Mariel Buckley has planted her flag firmly as a songwriter who’s in it for the long haul. She aims to find herself squarely on the fringes and exactly where she belongs: singing and writing songs for the underdog. Her candor and magnetic live show have been charming listeners across North America since her debut LP in 2018, Driving In The Dark. Now with thousands of miles under her belt, Buckley looks to turn country/folk music on its head, with her 2022 follow-up album, Everywhere I Used To Be. Anchored by the haunting whine of the pedal steel, rounded out by heavy synth pads, the resulting collection is a driving, swooning, toe-tapping catharsis; sealed and delivered by Buckley’s signature crooning brand of angst-ridden alt-folk. Mariel will be accompanied at the Nick by Ryan Funk on guitar, pedal steel and vocals.
