“Ambre McLean’s lyrics pour out to her listeners, as if she is speaking directly to them.”
As she seamlessly flows between the jovial and the melancholy, from one instrument to another, Ambre seems to both marry musical genres, and render them irrelevant all at the same time. A staple of the Canadian indie and folk music scenes for nearly 2 decades, McLean has become renowned for her live performances. While her multi-instrumental approach, and compelling songwriting set the stage, it’s Ambre‘s unique and captivating voice that truly steps into the spotlight. With the help of her trusty loop pedal, and a bag of musical magic tricks, Ambre creates soundscapes that seem to wash over you and swallow you whole – that then make way for touching and intimate soliloquies that set your heart free.
The Carleton Place Gallery is excited to continue our Art House Music Series with hosts Mel and Don Bray of Carleton Place. Immerse yourself in a fantastic evening as music and art collide, featuring top musicians and artists from surrounding areas.
