About

Third album from Canadian Folk Album Of The Year Nominee, Meredith Moon, produced by Colin Linden (Lucinda Williams, T-Bone Burnett, Bruce Cockburn). 'From Here To The Sea', finds the Canadian-born songwriter and instrumentalist taking a slight detour from the Appalachian old-time roots of the album's predecessor, 'Constellations'. The album explores avenues of blues, folk, and folk-rock, and even incorporates elements of old-time jazz. Moon's signature instrument - the banjo - still makes an appearance, along with the roots music that shaped her sound, but instead of being the anchor to the sonic pallet, it creates a subtle backdrop as she allows her songwriting to take center stage.

Meredith Moon has been described as a 'gem' in both the old-time and contemporary folk music scenes for her unusual expression of the genres, combining influences of folk-punk with traditional Appalachian sounds. Moon started writing songs at the age of eight, and growing up immersed in folk music including the music of her father Gordon Lightfoot, became a self-taught guitar player at the age of fourteen. A few years later she found her sound as a busker on sidewalks from Halifax to Vancouver. She then spent years traveling across Canada, and the world, by means of road and rail, finding inspiration for her unique style of songs which are crafted in a true storyteller's fashion.

Available on CD and limited edition lavendar swirl vinyl, which contains a 12-page booklet.
