September 21, 2026Carly was incredible! I booked her as a surprise for my partner’s birthday dinner, and she made the moment more special than I could have imagined. She showed up at the restaurant, completely surprising my partner, and sang our song right at our table. It was such a beautiful and unforgettable moment.
Carly has an absolutely amazing voice, but just as importantly, she is so kind, warm, and genuine. She helped turn a birthday surprise into a memory we’ll treasure forever.
Thank you so much, Carly, for being part of such a special night. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking to create a meaningful and memorable moment. ❤️

May 18, 2025Carlie played at our wedding yesterday - to say she was absolutely incredible would be an understatement! I think all of our guests were getting weepy with her soulful, beautiful voice, and she really tied the ceremony together so wonderfully. I highly recommend hiring her for any event. She was also very clear in the pre-wedding communication, and she even very generously offered to learn five songs for us, which meant I was able to walk down to the aisle to the song I’ve always wanted to since I was a little girl.

April 13, 2025What an amazing and talented artist. She arrived on time, performed as planned and was well received by all guests. Communication with Carly before the party couldn’t have gone better. From a client point of view, working with Gig Salad was effortless, what an amazing avenue for talented people to get gigs. We would definitely have Carly back to perform for us again! Thanks Carly.

Born and raised in Leduc, Alberta, singer-songwriter Carly Reirson captivates audiences with her soaring melodies and honest lyrics. Whether it is love or heartache, Reirson’s “soul-folk” songs take you on a journey through the world of human emotion. Inspired by artists such as Brandi Carlile, Sara Bareilles, and Rose Cousins, her smooth, yet edgy voice brings you face to face with your own feelings as she shares her stories of love, loss and loneliness.
Reirson has spent the last six years immersed in songwriting, penning the tracks for her upcoming album, Diary of a Beating Heart. The sophomore single, “Alone,” is a calming folk song that captures the emotions of a person who is traveling through life alone and has a deep longing for human connection and the desire to find someone to share their journey with. Her first single, "Aurora" is nominated for a 2023 Calgary Music award for "Folk Recording of the Year."
Reirson first made her mark on the national music scene in 2017 with her debut EP, Fantasy. The project received two nominations at the 2017 Calgary Music Awards for Blues Recording of the Year and Female Artist of the Year. In 2018, her single “Crooner Sing To Me” won the YYCMA Award for Blues Recording of the Year.
