Founding member of Port Cities, Carleton Stone is an award-winning artist, songwriter, and producer based in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. 

Preparing for a new solo release in June 2022, Carleton is about to share the single, “Monte Carlo,” a nostalgic reflection on the sacrifices parents make for their children, as well as the ones musicians make to pursue their careers.

An emotional blend of folk and classic singer-songwriter influences, “Monte Carlo” features lyrics that are about “the things in our past that aren’t around anymore, or the dreams you might have had when you were young that haven’t come to fruition in the way you hoped,” explains Stone.
