SINGER SONGWRITER round

SunDAY AUGUST 24

10:00 Am 

Rachel Hickey doesn’t just sing—she pulls you in. With a voice that lingers and lyrics that cut deep, the Toronto-based indie-folk artist blends melancholic storytelling with lush, atmospheric instrumentation. Fans of Feist, Florence + The Machine, Maggie Rogers, and Kacey Musgraves will find echoes of their favourites in Hickey’s deeply human sound.

Her debut EPs Getting By (2021) and So Long (2022) showcased her raw, introspective songwriting, but with The Eve of St. Agnes (2024), she fully steps into her own. Featured in Exclaim! and played on CBC Radio, Hickey has brought her intimate yet commanding performances to festival stages across Canada. Whether in a packed venue or a quiet listening room, she doesn’t just make music—she makes you feel it.
