More about Maclayne
Maclayne is a Calgary-based independent singer-songwriter whose music is as prolifically hooky as it is bold, honest, and wholesome. Often compared to Sara Bareilles and Regina Spektor, her dynamic folk-pop sound pairs heartfelt storytelling with endearing melodies, delivered with a voice of striking clarity, character, and warmth. Recently named one of the best albums of the year by the Calgary Herald and CBC Calgary, Maclayne's debut record “Off The Deep End” (November 2024) charted on campus radio nationally. After spending 2024 supporting acts like jed and the valentine, Apollo Suns, Rumour Mill and Big Little Lions, she recently capped off an Alberta-wide tour by selling out her first-ever headlining show in Calgary (Nov 2024). A gifted storyteller with a natural ability to connect deeply with her audience, Maclayne is carving out a promising path as a songwriter and performer.
"A personal and riveting pop album about transformation"
Eric Volmers, Calgary Herald
"This is a voice that will be instantly recognizable in the Canadian folk scene"

Listen to Maclayne's singles
"Quirky, positive and fun, reminiscent of a cross between Joni Mitchell and Dolores O’Riordan. Maclayne’s voice is airy, breathy and characterful with some absolutely jaw-dropping head voice moments"
