Meredith Moon started writing songs at the age of eight. Growing up immersed in folk music, including the music of her father, Gordon Lightfoot, she became a self-taught guitar player by the age of fourteen. A few years later, she found her sound as a busker on sidewalks from Halifax to Vancouver. She spent years traveling across Canada and the world by road and rail, finding inspiration for her unique style of songs, which are crafted in a true storyteller's fashion.

Meredith 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. Besides playing traditional tunes often 'non-traditionally,' Meredith presents a powerful voice and a highly contemporary clawhammer banjo style, which has earned her acclaim in the international roots music community. She is a multiinstrumentalist, incorporating fingerstyle/Travis picking guitar, piano, and lap dulcimer, among other instruments, into her performances.
