Canadian songwriter and instrumentalist Meredith Moon announces the release of her single "Sapphire Blue." The track, produced by Colin Linden (Lucinda Williams, The Band, Bob Dylan) is a preview of her new album to be announced soon.

Out today on all digital services via Compass Records, "Sapphire Blue" is an acoustic-based, mid tempo groover that evokes a feeling of mystery in the search for an escape from a 'dark force' of sorts, and tells a story of driving across the continent looking for the light with which to lift it, with Moon’s plaintive vocals answered by Linden’s vibey electric guitar.

Meredith Moon started writing songs at the age of eight, and growing up immersed in folk music including the music of her father Gordon Lightfoot, became a self-taught guitar player at 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 means of 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 a traditional Appalachian sounds. Besides playing traditional tunes often 'non-traditionally,' Meredith presents a powerful voice and highly contemporary clawhammer banjo style which has earned her acclaim in the international roots music community. She is a multi-instrumentalist, incorporating finger-style/travis picking guitar, piano and lap dulcimer, among other instruments, into her performances.

"Sapphire Blue" is available on all digital platforms today via Compass Records.
