Mariel Buckley and Tyson Ray Borsboom take the stage for the National Music Centre’s CIBC Summer Series at the legendary King Eddy on August 7.
About Mariel Buckley:
Unapologetically genuine, wry and soft-hearted, Mariel Buckley has planted her flag firmly as a songwriter who is comfortable living on the fringes, writing songs for the underdogs. With a fearless spirit that’s consistently broken through both genre and personal barriers, Buckley’s unique blend of angst-driven alt-folk has made her a standout artist, offering a fresh and dynamic perspective on modern Americana music.
Buckley’s past albums, 2022’s Polaris Music Prize nominated Everywhere I Used To Be and 2018’s Driving In The Dark, has been praised by notable publications and recognized with prestigious accolades. She’s toured across Canada, America and the EU/UK, as well as showcasing at SXSW, Americanafest, The Philadelphia Folk Fest, and Folk Alliance International. She’s shared stages with artists like Orville Peck, k.d. lang, The Bros Landreth and Frazey Ford, among many others.
An avid admirer of his work, Mariel connected with Nashville based alt-Americana producer, Jarrad K (Ruston Kelly, Lucie Silvas, Fancy Hagood, Goo Goo Dolls) for her new single, Vending Machines. Marking the beginning of a new sonic and individual chapter, the song exudes darker instrumentation and themes. Despite having grittier undertones, the writing is intentionally vulnerable and specific, resulting in something inviting and universal. “Vending Machines” explores themes of self-doubt, uncertainty, and questioning one’s path.
About Tyson Ray Borsboom:
With a powerful fusion of country, indie, folk, and alt-rock, Tyson doesn’t just write songs—he crafts musical experiences. This Canadian singer-songwriter captures the heart of multiple genres, intertwining them seamlessly into a style that feels both fresh and timeless. His music is an invitation to journey through raw emotion, introspection, and the beauty of life’s ups and downs.
Based in Calgary, AB, Tyson has graced the stage alongside talents like Field Guide, Billy Raffoul, Jon Bryant, and Kacy & Clayton, earning recognition for his ability to captivate audiences with his heartfelt performances. Collaborating with producer Phenix Warren (known for working with Michael Bernard Fitzgerald, Wyatt C Louis, and Kyle Church), Tyson is gearing up for the release of his highly anticipated sophomore album in 2025.
Get ready to see Tyson on tour across Canada, followed by a trip to Germany in the fall to celebrate the album’s release and share his music with fans across the globe.
