Maria Dunn Music Biography
2017 Juno-nominated songwriter Maria Dunn draws deeply on the folk tradition of storytelling through song. Melding North American roots music with her Scottish-Irish heritage, she sings about the resilience and grace of “ordinary” people, past and present. In 2016, she released Gathering (Nominee - 2017 Juno Award, Nominee - 2017 WCMA; Winner - 2016 Edmonton Music Prize), a collection of songs inspired by love—the love of family, community and humanity that connects us and fires our actions to make the world a better place. (Produced by Shannon Johnson of 2007 Juno award winning band The McDades.)
Maria's previous five independent recordings include: Piece By Piece (2013 Canadian Folk Music Award Nominee), The Peddler (2009 CFMA Nominee), and For A Song (2002 Juno Nominee).
Edmonton-based, Maria performs at folk festivals, theatres and conferences across Canada, Europe (UK Tour 2017 & 2015; 2008 Celtic Connections, Glasgow; Netherlands 2011) and USA (2017 NY State Triple Bill with Si Kahn and Joe Jencks; 2006 Smithsonian Folk Life Festival).
…remarkable singer-songwriter, think of her as a distaff Woody Guthrie. – Mike Ross, Edmonton Sun
A wonderful collection of new songs from one of our most important and vital songwriters… Essential listening, then, this Gathering. – Roddy Campbell, Penguin Eggs Magazine
