MEREDITH MOON Besides playing traditional tunes often 'non-traditionally', Meredith presents a powerful, warbling voice and highly contemporary clawhammer banjo style which has gained acclaim within the international old-time and Americana music community. She is a multi-instrumentalist, incorporating finger-style/travis picking guitar, piano and lap dulcimer into her performances. Along with an endorsement from Gold Tone Music Group and a recent recording deal with True North Records/Linus Entertainment, Meredith Moon has been a regular in the folk music and folk festival circuit for over a decade.
In the last eight years, she has herself booked and toured Canada, Mexico, The United States, Central America, the UK and Europe. Beginning in her friend's living rooms and DIY spaces, her audience evolved through the last decade to include festival and theatre dates, with many milestones under her belt. Her first full-length album, "Forest Far Away" was released independently in May of 2018, and she released "Constellations" on True North Records/Linus Entertainment in March of 2023.
Her second release garnered international acclaim; was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award for Traditional Album of the Year, and was on the Folk Alliance International top 10 Album Chart two months running in April and May 2023.
"Moon writes heartfelt folk songs, sings beautifully, and plays several instruments masterfully."- Americana Highways "She conjures up songs awash in rich, moody melodies that catch the ear in a way, at least in my experience, that many don't get close to."- Rambles "There is a richness, a warmth, a homeliness, and an enthralling honesty to her music that no doubt comes from her independence and personal history."- Spirit Rocks
