As many of you now know, Elyse Aeryn was recently involved in a very serious motorcycle accident, suffering many broken bones and requiring multiple surgeries. Thankfully, it is expected that eventually she will fully recover, but that road will be long and difficult and she’ll need all the help and support we can give her. You can help immediately by donating to her Go Fund Me campaign HERE. or there will be various ways to contribute set up at the show.
To stay true to her vision of three of Canada’s brightest up-and-coming singer-songwriters in her Coast2Coast show, local powerhouse Roxy Mercier (from Roxy & The Underground Soul Sound) has stepped in to join Maddisun & Angela Saini so the show can go on as intended: an intimate night of songs and stories at The Carleton on Thursday, September 25th. Show time is 7:30 PM and tickets are $25 + HST.

Angela Saini sweeps people away with instantly-memorable, toe-tapping country folk-pop infused with storyteller sing-alongs about courage and finding joy in surprising places.
