Fresh off the heels of her fifth studio album release, Mallory Chipman’s signature brand of cinematic folk-rock is making waves in the Canadian 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. Songs to a Wild God displays Mallory’s vivid lyricism and acrobatic vocals atop a deft and dynamic rhythm section, and “places her amidst the longer tradition of the great singer-songwriters” (Americana UK). On a jazz front, Chipman has recently appeared on Hutchinson Andrew Trio’s album The Senator, as well as produced and lent her voice to Brett Hansen’s Confluence. She has performed at Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, and Fort Langley jazz festivals, and continues to weave jazz influence into all her work and explore expression through improvisation. This combination of experience has defined Mallory as the multi-genre multi-hyphenate artist and producer that she is celebrated to be. 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 Canada’s own Joni Mitchell. With her skillful balance of grit and grace, Mallory Chipman powerfully embodies a rare and striking duality that leaves audiences wordless in wonderment. She is thrilled to make her return to Saskatoon to celebrate women and non-binary people in jazz music.
