An evening with Isabella Samson at The Carleton will be an intimate, story-driven experience where heartfelt songwriting meets candid conversation and dry, disarming humour. Her show is on Sunday, June 28th at 7 PM and you can expect a warm stage presence and a performance that feel less like a concert and more like a conversation, leaving audiences both moved and quietly understood. Tickets are $20 + HST.

Isabella Samson is a Canadian singer-songwriter from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, whose music blends the earnest storytelling of folk with the melodic nuance of contemporary pop. Her work has earned critical acclaim for its thoughtful lyricism, rich vocal presence, and emotional depth – drawing natural comparisons to iconic voices like Joni Mitchell and Lizzy McAlpine.

In 2022, Isabella took home the Canadian Folk Music Award for Young Performer of the Year and the Music Nova Scotia Award for Folk/Roots Recording of the Year, marking her as one of the East Coast’s most compelling young artists.

Her music is a window into personal reflection – navigating themes of love, identity, vulnerability, and the complexity of feeling deeply. In early 2026, she released her first single from her forthcoming second album, I Think I Feel Too Much, showcasing her knack for blending lyrical honesty with melodic intimacy.

With roots firmly planted in the musical traditions of Cape Breton and a voice that bridges generations and genres, Isabella Samson continues to capture audiences with her clever lyrics, dry humour, and sweeping vocals.
