Live On Stage: Everlae

Everlae is a solo musician, singer, and songwriter from Calgary, Alberta. She began writing songs out of high school after getting her now well-worn Taylor guitar, recording early demos in a friend’s basement studio. Originally an acoustic singer-songwriter, she later studied classical voice at the University of Lethbridge but left that path to focus on her own music. Under her previous name, Amanda Michelle, she released her debut EP 10 Whole Minutes and performed the release show while eight months pregnant. Over the next eight years, music took a back seat as she raised four children. Now, with her kids in school, Everlae has returned to music with fresh inspiration and a new sound. Still writing on guitar, she’s now leaning into an ethereal, indie pop direction inspired by Owl City, The Chainsmokers, Lights, Vanessa Carlton, Lord Huron, and Taylor Swift. She is in the middle of the production of her first EP under the name Everlae.
