St. John’s newest rock’n’roll sensations Nick Earle & The Reckless Hearts return to Halifax after their HUFF baptism last year to give the people what they want – a good time – at The Carleton on Friday, September 4th. Great live music gets underway at 8 PM and tickets are $25 + HST.

***This is definitely a standing and dancing kinda rock show, so if you’d like to grab a seat, best to arrive early and/or contact reservations@thecarleton.ca to make dinner arrangements ***

Nick Earle is quickly becoming one of the most electrifying names in Canadian rock. Hailing from St. John’s, Newfoundland, Earle has spent over a decade honing his craft on stages across North America, first as one half of the award-winning blues duo Earle & Coffin, before shifting gears into something bigger, louder, and unmistakably his own. Between the two acts he has earned 23 MusicNL awards and 2 Canadian Folk Music Awards.

Now leading Nick Earle & The Reckless Hearts, he’s bringing a fresh surge of energy to rock ‘n’ roll, balancing sharp songwriting with show-stopping guitar work that’s as technical as it is explosive. Their live show is a high-octane, no-apologies blast of guitars, sweat, and swagger, earning them spots alongside the likes of Nickelback, Matt Mays, The Trews, and Third Eye Blind.

The band is channeling something raw, real, and recklessly alive, bringing East Coast rock to the masses, one hook at a time. Following the breakout success of No More Hiding and its viral single Born to Lose (5.1M+ TikTok plays, ECMA-nominated), Earle continues his rise with his most ambitious chapter yet. In addition to a growing national presence and major festival slots, the band released their first live record, Live At The JAG Soundhouse, on May 21, capturing the unfiltered energy that has become their calling card.

The momentum is matched on the industry side, with 2026 ECMA nominations for Group of the Year and Rock/Alternative Release of the Year, further solidifying Earle’s place as one of the most exciting forces in Canadian rock right now.

Now signed to 745 Music Management (founded by Jay Emmons of The Glorious Sons), Earle is levelling up with a national spotlight, including major support slots alongside acts like  Nickleback, ZZ Top and The Killers.

Whether it’s a smokey bar room stage or a summer festival crowd, Nick Earle is delivering something raw, real, and impossible to ignore.
