As part of our 10th anniversary celebrations, The Carleton is very happy to announce that Mo Kenney will perform a rare acoustic show at The Carleton on Thursday, May 10th. Tickets are $20 and show time is 8 PM.

With her third album, The Details, Mo Kenney traces her own strange, devastating, and ultimately hopeful trip through the trials and tribulations of booze-fuelled breakdowns, clouds of depression, and disintegrating relationships. On each of its 14 tracks, she unflinchingly confronts her annihilation and eventual redemption, leaving nothing out. The concept album is her most personal and cohesive work to date—combining elements of bruising rock ’n’ roll, vivid psychedelia, and haunting, left-of-the-dial pop, Kenney navigates the darkest waters in her life with self-deprecation, genuine soul-baring, and typical black humour. It opens with a calm before the storm as the eerie sadness of Cat’s Not a Cake—about splitting a beloved pet in half as a relationship falls apart—provides a deceptively gentle beginning to a ride that swiftly steers into self-destruction.

Mo is one of The Carleton’s favourite artists thanks to her incredible songwriting ability, her killer guitar chops and her very dry, wry sense of humour. If you’ve never seen her live, now’s your chance – don’t blow it…
