With a confident voice and boundless energy, Celeigh Cardinal owns a stage connecting deeply with her audience through humour, passion and love. Whether sweetly strumming an acoustic guitar or leading her band in a rocking rave-up, she commands our attention. Her singing is rich and deep with a burnished maturity and a nimble technical virtuosity that wraps itself around notes with a purr, a snarl, or something in the middle.
Her songs are authentic and heartfelt and connect us to the healing power of music. Cardinal has received many accolades and nominations for her two full-length albums, but most notably was awarded the 2020 Juno Award for Indigenous Artist of the Year and received two 2020 Western Canadian Music Award Nominations.
“I’ve always connected with artists whose voices resonate; you can feel it in your body. That is what I’ve always wanted to be” says Cardinal.
Celeigh Cardinal has performed across North America and internationally, including Reeperbahn in Germany, and tours in The Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden. As well as her flourishing musical career, Celeigh is the first Indigenous radio personality on Alberta’s own CKUA Radio Network, and she’s the first Indigenous member of CBC Edmonton’s Radio Arts Column, the In Crowd. Creating more opportunities for Indigenous representation in Media and Music is not only essential to Celeigh, it is her inspiration. Celeigh strives to use the space she takes to lift up other Indigenous artists and be/have the representation she desired as a young girl, and the representation she desires for all Indigenous peoples.
Cardinal is a soul-folk songstress with a twist of blues. You won’t want to miss this show! Tickets are $30 for the February 11th show and are available at Swift Current Pharmasave or online at eventbrite.com. Doors at the Lyric Theatre will open at 7:30pm and the music begins at 8:30pm. Blenders thanks MacBean Tessem for sponsoring this show.
