About Fiona Clancey

Raised in a house where music was always playing, folk-pop singer-songwriter Fiona Clancey hails from the heart of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Drawing inspiration from artists like John Prine, Phoebe Bridgers, Lizzy McAlpine, and the Avett Brothers, Fiona’s sound is dreamy with a side of Maritime charm. With a degree in classical voice, her strong vocal ability is evident through soaring melodies, a bright tone, and impressive control.

Fiona’s music has the sensitivity to invite people in and the softness to hold them close.

Take a seat, stay a while.

About Esdaile

Hailing from the gritty underbelly of Dartmouth, Esdaile spins folk tales that stick like old scars—stories brimming with raw emotion and unforgettable hooks. With a sound that blends modern R&B, twangy country, and a rock edge, Esdaile crafts a musical experience that’s as captivating as it is unpredictable. Drawing inspiration from the impassioned performances of Joe Cocker, the soulful grit of Chris Stapleton, and the timeless elegance of Sinatra, Esdaile’s voice is a force of nature—sultry, commanding, and impossible to ignore.

But beneath the sleek exterior lies a deeply rooted authenticity, channeling the soul of Dartmouth into every note. Whether it’s the smooth delivery or the thunderous energy, Esdaile’s sound leaves listeners craving more—a haunting blend of grit and glamour that lingers long after the last chord fades.
