“A luscious voice that burns into fiery blues." - CBC Radio One "Saskatchewan Weekend" Thursday, November 5 @ The Rivoli, Toronto 334 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M5V 2A2 • Doors open from 6:30pm / show starts at 7:30pm • Limited seating DON'T MISS your chance to see live music at it's finest! Rooted along the banks of the Kitchissippi (Gatineau, QC), Mia Kelly is an award-winning singer-songwriter, making her mark internationally with her distinctive blend of folk, rock, and blues. Carrying the power of the river she calls home, her voice winds and weaves stories, raw and breaking with emotion in English and French. Her newest record, Big Time Roller Coaster Feeling - produced by Connor Seidel (Charlotte Cardin, Half Moon Run, Donovan Woods), celebrates juicy, joyful moments of life and shines light into the darker corners. These new songs feel wild and expansive, like running through a sunny field with your arms open wide. Her debut album Garden Through The War (2022) and sophomore album To Be Clear (2024) launched her career on the world stage leading to extensive touring throughout Canada, Australia and the U.K, performing at major festivals and opening doors for her to support artists such as Bobby Bazini, The Franklin Electric, Good Lovelies, and Kim Churchill. WHAT THE PRESS SAY.. “One to watch” - Americana UK “À mon avis, Mia Kelly est la Sarah McLachlan de la génération Z” - Le Droit “With a raspy undertone, crisp guitar strums and drawn out folky vocals, she transformed the stage into a low-lit tavern, her voice almost fictitiously haunting.” - The Charlatan “Her folky, rich voice melted on ears like chocolate on warm tongues.” - The Charlatan “You need to hear this voice." - David Reed, The Belleville Intelligencer "...a stunningly expressive voice" - Lynn Saxberg, Ottawa Citizen "great stage presence and songs worth hearing" - Americana UK “a beautiful slice of contemporary folk” - The AU Review Photo credit: Jesse Milns The Rivoli is a bar, restaurant and performance space, established in 1982, on Queen Street West in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The club originally earned a reputation as one of Canada's hippest music clubs, and many major Canadian comedy and musical performers have played on its stage, including The Kids in the Hall, Gordon Downie, The Frantics, Nirvanna The Band, Sean Cullen and the infamous Dark Shows. The Rivoli was synonymous with Toronto's black-garbed Queen West scene. This reputation waned as the club's clientele became more eclectic and upscale, but the Rivoli's atmosphere is still unique.
