Rooted along the banks of the Kitchissippi (Gatineau, QC), Mia Kelly is an award-winning singer-songwriter, making her mark internationally with her distinctive blend of folk, rock, and blues. Carrying the power of the river she calls home, her voice winds and weaves stories, raw and breaking with emotion in English and French. 

Her newest record, Big Time Roller Coaster Feeling - produced by Connor Seidel (Charlotte Cardin, Half Moon Run, Donovan Woods), celebrates juicy, joyful moments of life and shines light into the darker corners. These new songs feel wild and expansive, like running through a sunny field with your arms open wide. 

Her debut album Garden Through The War (2022) and sophomore album To Be Clear (2024) launched her career on the world stage leading to extensive touring throughout Canada, Australia and the U.K, performing at major festivals and opening doors for her to support artists such as Bobby Bazini, The Franklin Electric, Good Lovelies, and Kim Churchill.

The Rivoli is a bar, restaurant and performance space, established in 1982, on Queen Street West in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The club originally earned a reputation as one of Canada's hippest music clubs, and many major Canadian comedy and musical performers have played on its stage, including The Kids in the Hall, Gordon Downie, The Frantics, Nirvanna The Band, Sean Cullen and the infamous Dark Shows.

The Rivoli was synonymous with Toronto's black-garbed Queen West scene. This reputation waned as the club's clientele became more eclectic and upscale, but the Rivoli's atmosphere is still unique.
