FEAT. CHELSEA REYNOLDS + BERNADETTE CONNORS + CHELSEA McWILLIAMS + MELISSA DUTCH
Chelsea Reynolds is a singer-songwriter based in Hamilton, Ontario. After years of training as a classical pianist, she traded complicated keys in favour of simple strings and a notebook. A self-proclaimed “bootgaze” artist, her introspective and melodic songs take on the form of dreamy cowgirl rock n’ roll. With the unmistakable influence of the clever country storytellers that came before her, Reynolds prioritizes honesty and vulnerability above all else in her writing. She tackles themes of infatuation, grief, femininity, and civic discourse. Every song is a confession.
