Laura Hickli and Kindé take the stage for the National Music Centre’s CIBC Summer Series at the legendary King Eddy on September 18.
Laura Hickli (Mohkínstsis/Calgary) is an internationally touring art pop songstress known for her dreamy, tightly-arranged soundscapes, exquisite vocals, evocative lyrics and her emotionally powerful performances. A classically trained pianist and member in several award-winning musical projects including 36?, Hickli’s latest material has struck a spellbinding balance of spectral intimacy and bombast explosivity.
Hickli is currently releasing her heavy-hitting third album ‘dark secrets‘ through Ba Da Bing Records (Sharon Van Etten, Beirut). This somber and experimental record explores her grief after a major motor vehicle accident she and her band suffered on tour in 2023.
Described as ‘indomitable,’ Laura Hickli will shatter any expectations of the way a piano should be played, a voice should be lifted or a life should be lived.

Her music is heavily influenced by R&B and neo-soul sounds, while also drawing inspiration from various other genres.
