The result would be Calgary-based country artist, Michela Sheedy. She is proudly independent: one part endless party, one part unmitigated honesty, and known for her vocal cords of pure honey and whiskey. The next big thing in country music turning the industry on its cowboy-booted heels. Michela is in it for the long haul dedicating herself to redefining ‘three chords and the truth’ for an entirely new generation of country music fans.
With a bit of rock, a hell of a lot of soul and a throwback gritty vibe, Michela crash landed on country radio with her irresistible debut single, “I Make Bad Look Good” in 2018. She quickly established herself as a force to be reckoned with both on and off the stage. Notable Life’s Breakout Canadian Musician of the Year marked critical next steps in her career with the release of her follow-up single, “Lost” in 2020. The project was highly anticipated by fans and followers, making a lasting impression on her quickly growing audience.
Hitting stages like a hurricane, she has put miles under her belt playing esteemed venues and festivals across North America such as Country Thunder in Alberta and Florida, the Coca-Cola stage and Nashville North tent at the Calgary Stampede, Big Valley Jamboree, Ranchman’s Cookhouse and Dancehall, Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge and more. Her impressive and fast-rising career has landed her four nominations for Country Music Alberta’s Horizon Female Artist of the Year, one nomination for Interactive Artist of the Year, and two top-twelve placements in the Alberta’s esteemed artist development program, Project WILD.
Michela’s live show is wildly entertaining, refreshingly carefree, gutsy, fierce and electric. She’s graced the spotlight, sharing stages with legends like Keith Urban, and setting the scene on fire as direct support for Dallas Smith, Dean Brody, Aaron Goodvin and Lonestar. The buzzy young singer is a magnetic force of nature leaving audiences spellbound and ready to ride the storm alongside her.
From local dive bars to NHL arenas, Michela stands for more than just music. With the Calgary Flames in her corner, she has performed anthems at hundreds of NHL games that resonate with hearts on both sides of the border since 2017. Catch her on the ice at Scotia Bank Saddledome singing for her favourite team this season!
Taking her small-town Albertan values wherever she goes, she contributes her time and talent to fundraising efforts for Calgary-based charities including Gems for Gems and the Alberta Music Education Foundation.
Fearless music-making with a “take-no-prisoners” attitude. She has an uncompromising spirit that distinguishes her from the rest making her one of the genre’s most exciting new artists and relatable voices. Michela Sheedy is a musical firebrand, lighting up stages across the country with an unapologetic energy that’s impossible to resist. It’s a boot-scootin’ soirée you won’t want to miss!
