Calgary-based musician Sonia Deleo works in a half-pitch of knockout musical grandiosity and
sensitive singer-songwriter poetics. Capable of enormous crescendos and full-hearted intimacy,
her warmth, wit, and drama all feel at home in the wide-ranging genres on her 2022 debut LP Love
Notes to the Monsters, which recently gained recognition with a Folk Recording of The Year nomination at the YYC Music Awards. The album fuses folk, rock and soul; but Deleo’s masterful vocals and unique perspective remain at the core of the album. Deleo spins stirring ballads of love, abandonment, and redemption that burst from the confines of their sonics by way of Ani DiFranco, Florence Welch & Serena Ryder. With her backing band The New Dads, Deleo’s live shows guarantee big energy and an unflinching point of view.
