The Artichoke Hearts have been making waves since releasing their debut full-length album, No Other Road, to a sold-out audience at the NAC Fourth Stage. Last summer, they graced the Ottawa Bluesfest and Wakefield’s Musical Mondays, winning hearts with their vulnerability and vibrant energy. With this special Valentine’s Day performance, the group is bringing their intimate and soul-stirring music to the cozy setting of Motel Chelsea.
What started as a Wakefield-based trio led by singer-songwriter and guitarist Caitlin Dolan has evolved into a dynamic ensemble with pianist Kim Jackson, violinist Jessie Lyon, and the newest member, Carolynne Ball, on trumpet and vocals. Their collaboration with producer Dean Watson has elevated their sound, adding layers of synth, accordion, bass, and drums, creating a rich and modern folk-pop vibe. Each song on No Other Road is a journey through personal growth, reflection, and resilience—a perfect backdrop for an evening of love and connection.
Set against the rustic charm of Motel Chelsea, the event promises a magical ambiance. The venue, known for hosting unique cultural experiences, sets the perfect stage for the band’s heartfelt melodies and spellbinding harmonies. Attendees can look forward to classically inspired solos and deeply emotional storytelling that will leave a lasting impression.
Tickets are refundable up to seven days before the event, excluding Eventbrite fees. Don’t miss the chance to experience The Artichoke Hearts in this intimate setting. Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day with a loved one or simply treating yourself to a night of exquisite live music, this concert will fill the evening with warmth and unforgettable memories.
