With clawhammer banjo, haunting vocals, and foot-stomping rhythm, Meredith Moon delivers folk music that’s both rooted and rebellious. Blending old-time traditions with raw storytelling, her performances captivate intimate rooms and festival crowds alike. A singular voice in Canadian folk, she brings grit, grace, and authenticity to every stage.Meredith Moon grew up immersed in folk music, inspired by her surroundings and the legacy of her father, legendary singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot. A self-taught multi-instrumentalist and natural storyteller, she began crafting songs at a young age and spent her teens busking across Canada—from Halifax to Vancouver—developing the unique voice and style that define her work today.
Her music blends the raw spirit of traditional folk with a modern edge. Known for her powerful vocals and contemporary clawhammer banjo playing, Moon also weaves fingerstyle guitar, piano, and lap dulcimer into her performances. While rooted in old-time traditions, she brings a fresh, boundary-pushing energy that has earned her recognition in international folk and old-time music communities.
