The Carrot Friday Nite Live presents Commonwealthgrrl - June 26
🎶 Live music starts at 7:00 pm | $10 Cover | Youth (12 & under) $5 | All Ages 🎶
This self-taught uke player uses songwriting as both anchor and compass, navigating life’s twists and turns with warmth, honesty, and a touch of the offbeat. Canada raised her, Germany shaped her, and somewhere in between Marie Fontaine found her ukulele-driven indie folk sound, rooted in storytelling and connection. Raised in a creative family, she grew up on French chanson and artists like Kate Bush and Rickie Lee Jones. Since 2015, she’s become a familiar face in Edmonton’s scene, with highlights including a Nashville retreat with Andrea Stolpe, performing with WriteOn! at the Calgary folk club, The Rocky Mountain Listeing Room, the WriteOn showcase at the Ironwood Stage & Grill, The Key of Me at SkirtsAfire Festival 2026, and her 2026 release “Big Valley Jail.”

The Carrot Spotlight Series presents Spotlight performer: Rick St. Clair – May 27
🎶 Live music starts at 7:00 pm | $20 Cover | Youth (12 & under) $10 | All Ages 🎶
The voice of Rick St. Clair resonates with the weight of a heart-worn and weathered soul. His songs reflect on life’s joys and hardships, and give voice to quiet truths. His musical sensibilities take root in the introspective lyricism of yesteryear’s folk, and the melancholic melodies of country and blues. Rick weaves a sonic tapestry of his own.
Rick has quietly honed his craft over the years, writing songs in the confines of solitude. His debut performance took place at the storied Mariposa Folk Festival on July 5th and 6th, 2025 – a milestone that marked the beginning of his outward musical journey.
On January 17th, 2026, Rick released his song Wildflowers, a deeply personal piece inspired by the physical and spiritual medicine found in wildflowers. His lyrics reflect on the harmony between land, people, and his Red River Métis identity.
When not performing or recording his music, Rick gives back to the community by hosting a concert series titled Listen Up, dedicated to fostering a space for emerging artists to perform for audiences who truly listen.
