Biography:
Blessed with an artist’s eye, Mae Moore has been writing for over thirty-five years, and her songs have been heard in major movie soundtracks, hit television shows and all over the radio. With two Juno nominations, two Socan awards and many chart successes, Mae has forged a career that has found her sharing stages with Sarah McLachlan John Hiatt, Marianne Faithfull, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Richard Thompson and other folk/rock luminaries.
“...puts the emphasis on songwriting and turns out potential singles.”
The Globe and Mail
“...truth and understanding with elegant acoustic guitar tracks.”
Guitar Player magazine
Most recently, Mae has been back in the recording studio working again with
Joby Baker (Alex Cuba, Cowboy Junkies, The Bills) in a project of new compositions and experiences; ones that come from a lifetime of pursuing that which she loves.
The Canadian focused album Folklore and companion artbook will be released in 2011.
An ardent believer in the power of music to bring out the best in people, Mae
initiated and ran Red Cedar Songwriter Camp for four years, and continues to
mentor songwriters through various organizations.
