If Kacey Musgraves and Lake Street Dive had a country-soul love child, the result would be Mariya Stokes. Known for her distinct retro style and quirky sense of humour, Country Music Alberta’s two-time Horizon Female Artist of the Year is on the cusp of releasing her debut full-length album. Growing up in Stavely, Alberta, Stokes’ music reflects her roots: honest country lyrics seamlessly blended with pop influenced melodies.
