Rainbow Rodeo Episode 9: Mariel Buckley

I interviewed Canadian alt-country singer Mariel Buckley back in August. And you can tell this was a few months ago because we talked a little baseball — little did we know how badly the Blue Jays would implode.

Buckley’s album Everywhere I Used To Be is a distinct departure from Buckley’s acclaimed Driving in the Dark. The sound is more spare, more melancholy. We dig into that as well as Mariel’s experiences with extended vocal rest, gender identity, and growing up queer in a small town.

Since we mention it, you can read my review of the album in No Depression here.
