biographical info
Meredith Luce beguiles her audiences with her vocals, her funny,
fearless banter, and her award-winning songs. Her music ranges from contemporary folk and folk rock to alt
country and pop. CBC's Alan Neal said of Meredith's performance at a taping for Canada Live, "That is a voice I can't get enough of." Jill
Breit, host of UpNorth Music on North Country Public Radio, the
northern New York affiliate of the US National Public Radio, selected
Meredith for the UpNorth music project. They recorded her music, and
more recently invited Meredith to play the project's live on-air
inaugural concert at St. Lawrence College in Canton, NY, on January
25th. They have also included her song, "Big City Girl"; on their
compilation album. A dual US/Canadian citizen, Meredith draws on her
family's Appalachian roots and the Canadian songwriters whose music she
heard growing up in Ottawa, Ontario.
Her first full-length album October was released in July 2007 and it received strong
critical notice including a four star rating in the Ottawa
Citizen. The album was produced Dave Draves at Ottawa's Little Bullhorn Studio.
