Catherine MacLellan, Lucy Farrell

Multi-award-winning songwriters Catherine MacLellan and Lucy Farrell grew up half a world apart, but they connect through their songcraft and the warm clarity of their delivery. Suspending time with their musical storytelling, Catherine and Lucy?s songs journal the characters, landscapes and situations that populate their lives and the broader world, unraveling and reweaving the threads of history and tradition with the deftness and surety that has made them such notable touring and recording artists, collaborators and festival stage guests.

Lucy?s odd, poetic and unconventional songwriting is bewitching. Kent-born but now based in Canada, where she met Catherine, her elegant, sparse and careful accompaniment on tenor guitar and occasionally viola have created a unique niche at the forefront of contemporary English folk music.

Catherine MacLellan is a JUNO award winner, ECMA songwriter of the year, and has released seven albums over the past 20 years while touring around the world. She makes her home in her beloved Prince Edward Island, her songs reflecting the landscape of the island. Her music takes you through struggles, triumphs and the joy of life.

Together this new collaboration will bring something very special to the stage.
