CARLETON STONE
“…has evolved over the last 10 years into a truly exceptional singer-songwriter … every track on “Papercut” hits home … moving freely between dreamy, sophisticated pop songs and power pop laced with ’80s synth to juiced up Americana.” — SALTWIRE

BIO
Carleton Stone’s Midnight Rose is an electrifying collection of sophisticated Americana, lush pop, and propulsive rock. Following up 2022’s critically lauded Papercut, the Atlantic Canadian songwriter’s fifth album finds him once again in the producer’s chair (alongside the legendary Howie Beck this time), and working with trusted collaborators like Kayleigh O’Connor (Baby Nova), Jason Collett, Dylan Guthro, Gordie Sampson and Brad Roberts (Crash Test Dummies). Older and (slightly) wiser, the record finds Stone musing on his own Sisyphean burdens, love’s fickle nature, and smoking cigarettes with God.
As a musician, Stone is a Swiss Army knife. He’s won countless awards for his solo records and those he released with his former band, Port Cities; he’s racked up numerous songwriting credits working with the likes of Donovan Woods, Ria Mae, Matt Andersen, The East Pointers, Quake Matthews, Classified, Bobby Bazini, and Neon Dreams; he’s become an accomplished producer, taking the helm behind the boards on his own albums as well as music by artists like Willie Stratton and CBC Searchlight winner Maggie Andrew; and he’s a seasoned road dog, having toured consistently since he began playing music and recently supporting the Crash Test Dummies on six major jaunts.
