What They Are Saying...

"...Stunning...on another level...Mallory’s approach opens up previously unexplored ways of thinking about melody. Some of the finest folk-rock currently being made." 
-Amplify Music Magazine

"Her vocals are stunning on Songs to a Wild God, which listeners have grown to expect from Chipman."
- Edmonton Journal


“...gutsy, whilst also placing [herself] with enthusiastic abandonment into the longer tradition of the great singer-songwriters”
- Americana UK

The Artists & The Music...

Award-winning singer-songwriter, Mallory Chipman, is fresh off the heels of her fifth studio album release, and is turning heads across the international folk-roots scene. Her latest record, Songs to a Wild God, hit #1 on CKUA upon its release and was one of the only indie albums to debut in the National Radio Top 50.

 

Engineered by JUNO-nominee Scott Franchuk (Corb Lund, Del Barber) and featuring a line up of Western Canada’s top musicians, Songs to a Wild God boasts a sonic landscape that combines classic folk acoustic instruments, like banjos and tenor guitars, with modern units, like synthesizers and effects pedals, to create a sound that is definitively contemporary while proudly rooted in the folk tradition.

 

Songs to a Wild God displays Mallory’s vivid lyricism and acrobatic vocals atop a deft and dynamic rhythm section and has been met with a solid reviews and a sold out album release concert in Edmonton, with a forthcoming support tour slated for summer 2025.​

​

In the past year alone, Chipman has toured across Canada, Europe, Korea, and Japan, turning heads at major showcases including Folk Alliance International, North by Northeast, Alberta Showcase, and BreakOut West; and drawing comparison to Kate Bush, Melissa Ethridge, and Joni Mitchell.​
