A Canadian singer-songwriter who reworks Celtic and Arthurian stories into contemporary folk songs.
If you want to hear her approach in one song, start with 'Mordred's Lullaby.' For something a little different, 'Hunter' shows how she handles darker, story-driven material.
She takes old stories and makes them feel immediate, not like historical reenactment. 'Mordred's Lullaby' is the clearest example, it gives voice to King Arthur's betrayer with a dark, personal melody. That direct approach to myth is what defines her work, whether she's singing about 'Hawthorn Tree' or the darker corners of 'Medusa'.
She started putting out albums in the late 1990s with 'The Turning' and 'Ashes and Diamonds.' Since then, she's kept working in that space between folk storytelling and contemporary songwriting, releasing albums like 'The Hill of the Witch' in 2010. The songs have stayed focused on narrative, from early tracks like 'Martin Said To His Man' to later ones.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
