Nickelodeon Music Club Presents Abigail Lapell

With just three albums under her belt, Toronto songwriter Abigail Lapell has some pretty impressive credentials: she’s won three Canadian Folk Music Awards (English Songwriter of the Year in 2020 and 2023 and Contemporary Album of the Year in 2017), hit number one on Canadian folk radio and accrued a staggering 20 million+ Spotify streams. Her latest album, Stolen Time, feels unhurried, psychedelic and otherworldly in the vein of Gillian Welch or Karen Dalton. A theme of recovery runs through the album, with songs about becoming sober, or a partner’s sudden illness, exploring the cycle of rehabilitation and relapse. An eclectic cast of musicians underscores the power of Lapell’s vocals on live-off-the-floor, 70s folk rock arrangements featuring bass, drums, horns, strings and steel. But many of Stolen Time’s standout tracks are solo guitar or piano songs, backed by little more than ghostly accordion or harmonica.

Check out Abigail Lapell’s official video for her song Old Flames.

With melodies, harmonies and hooks that linger long after the last note has ended, Trundled is the duo of Ellen Braun of Canmore, and Joe Shea of Prince George, B.C. Their unique indie folk music style and chemistry have led to critical acclaim and captivating performances across Canada. Their 2020 full length studio album High Water was recorded and produced by award-winning producer Daniel Ledwell.
