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 honest storytelling with endearing melodies, delivered with a voice of striking clarity, character, and warmth that connects across generations. In a post-show heart-to-heart, it’s not uncommon for Maclayne to hear some version of: “I’m twice your age, but I related to every word you said.”
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) garnered local press and landed chart placements and interviews on campus radio nationally. After spending 2024 as a supporting solo act across western Canada and completing a full-band headlining tour (November 2024) Maclayne recently played her first show in Toronto and was featured in several Alberta festivals (June 2025). A gifted storyteller with a natural ability to connect deeply with her audience in any room she graces, Maclayne can’t wait to continue to share her music as she looks forward to recording her sophomore album in fall 2025.

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"
