The Carrot Friday Nite Live presents Susan Issac – January 30

🎶 Live music starts at 7:00 pm | $10 Cover | Youth (12 & under) - $5 | All Ages 🎶

Susan Isaac Folk singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Susan Isaac is a Manitoba-born folk singer/songwriter making music in Edmonton. A powerhouse vocalist and multi-instrumentaIist, Susan crafts enduring songs reflecting on themes of land, loss, home, belonging, and parenthood. While solidly situated in the folk genre characterized by her fingerstyle guitar and signature storytelling, Susan’s slow-cooked lyrics and melodies also display pop sensibilities and country leanings, with the occasional indie rock chorus thrown in for good measure! Born to folk singer Carol Isaac and a family that prioritized music, Susan wrote her first song at the age of 5, joined her first choir at the age of 7, and spent the rest of her childhood making as much music as possible with family and friends in the small community of Stonewall Mb (which she grew up outside of)—and, increasingly, Winnipeg as she got older and sought new performance opportunities. She was a participant in the inaugural year of the Young Performers Program at the Winnipeg Folk Festival. When life asserted itself, Susan chose to direct her attentions elsewhere, working in community development, travelling and eventually having two children and moving to Edmonton. Through some chance intersections, she began song-writing 2 years ago to process the death of her father, which opened the floodgates to a torrent of songs and musical aspirations as of yet unexplored. Over the last two years as a member of The Night Warblers, Susan honed her songwriting and storytelling, and is now developing her solo career.

The Carrot Friday Nite Live presents Drifting tunes – November 7

🎶 Live music starts at 7:00 pm | $10 Cover | Youth (12 & under) $5 | All Ages 🎶

Clare McNaul met Blain Bovee at a Deadwood saloon on a South Dakota afternoon. They quickly discovered their shared love of singing songs and playing guitar, and joined forces almost immediately, eventually becoming a driving force behind Crazy Man Michael, a Guelph, Ontario-based Celtic-Folk inspired six-member band. Clare sang lead vocals, while Blain played lead acoustic guitar. Over the past three decades, Clare and Blain, now known as Drifting Tunes, have performed their music together, honing their signature sound—a blend of Folk, Roots, Americana, and Country—that is so inviting it envelops listeners like a warm hug. Clare’s captivating, earthy vocals weave together with Blain’s tender harmonies, setting the stage for compelling and memorable musical performances. Their sets feature cover songs by legendary singer-songwriters and musical influences like Townes Van Zandt, Nanci Griffith, Gillian Welch, and Gram Parsons, interspersed with Drifting Tunes’ original, lyric-driven songs. Set to tuneful melodies, these songs are inspired by the music they love, experiences gathered in the vast landscapes they’ve traveled through, and the people they’ve met. Their songs transform ordinary, yet timeless, relatable moments—sometimes even tragic ones—into memorable, poignant, and at times humorous slice-of-life stories. Over the past 25 years, Drifting Tunes’ tunes have drifted from one end of North America to the other, from small towns in Ontario, Canada, to the Appalachian mountains, and even to smokey cowboy saloons tucked deep in the Mojave desert of the southwest. Even after their music stops, Drifting Tunes lingers in the air.

The Carrot Friday Nite Live presents Nick Guiton – October 24

🎶 Live music starts at 7:00 pm | $10 Cover | Youth (12 & under) $5 | All Ages 🎶

Nick Guiton is a talented singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, whose music blends a variety of genres, including Roots, Blues, Americana, and Alt-Country. Drawing from the timeless sounds of musical icons like John Hiatt, Bruce Springsteen, Townes Van Zandt, and Otis Taylor, Nick has carved out a distinctive sound that’s both reflective and raw. With lyrics that touch on the joys, struggles, and uncertainties of life, Nick’s music is relatable, offering connection to audiences from all walks of life. Nick’s journey in music began at a young age, experimenting with a Bontempi reed organ at just four years old. From there, he immersed himself in a wide range of musical influences, and his career evolved through numerous projects. Each of these endeavours showcased his versatility as an artist, from the alt-country sound of High Level Bridge to the gritty roots of No Dogs Barking and the high-energy performances of Friction Unlimited. However, it wasn’t until a near-fatal accident that Nick’s true resilience was tested. The accident threatened his ability to play and perform, but Nick’s love for music and his unwavering dedication to his craft saw him push through the recovery process. Emerging with a unique finger-picking guitar style, Nick adapted and refocused his efforts on a solo career. This transition not only deepened his artistry but also solidified his commitment to music as both a personal and creative lifeline.

In 2024, Nick released his first EP, The Sunburnt EP, which was recorded at the legendary Sun Studios. The release marked a major milestone in his career, showcasing his growth as a solo artist and his ability to produce a collection of songs that speak to both the soul and the heart.
