A songwriter who has kept making records for over twenty years, mixing personal observations with social themes.
For a good frame, try 'Happiness (Maddie's Song)' or 'Bruises Without Blue'. They give you her plainspoken, observational style.
She started writing early in New York City, with Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen as clear influences. Songs like 'Happiness (Maddie's Song)' and 'Alive Before You' show her lyrical approach to personal themes, while '93 Maidens' tackled human trafficking and brought attention beyond just the music. She's kept at it without settling into one predictable sound.
Her debut 'Haunted by Real Life' came out in 2000, followed by records like 'Killing Floor' in 2004 and 'Choreography' in 2007. She's put out albums that mix folk, pop, and jazz elements for over twenty years now, with the writing staying focused on observations and experiences.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
