On Wednesday February 4, Hugh’s Room is proud to introduce a singer-songwriter who grewup immersed in folk music, inspired by her surroundings and the legacy of her father, legendary
singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot. That’s right, 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. 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.
What began in living rooms and DIY spaces has grown into a dynamic touring career. Moon has
performed at major folk festivals, toured extensively across North America, Central America, the
UK, and Europe, and in 2022, she opened for her father on his final cross-Canada tour. In 2024,
she made her debut on NPR’s Mountain Stage and has shared the stage with numerous
respected artists in the folk and roots scenes. We are honoured to invite her to take the Hugh’s
Room stage.
