Global Arts Management was selected by Canada Council to be part of the CC delegation at Womex in Denmark. Congratulations to my manager, Josh Keller! Let's hope a European tour is in my future:-)
"The album, Folklore, ranks among her best efforts. Her singing is at times reminiscent of Norah Jones, Rickie Lee Jones and Joni Mitchell. Yet Moore's honeyed, dreamy sound is inarguably her own."
Adrian Chamberland - The Vancouver Sun
I am thrilled to announce that I have been awarded a Touring Initiatives grant from the BC Arts Council for my current cross Canada tour!

Mae Moore and friends will be playing at the Belfry Arts Centre on Thursday, March 3rd, 2011. This special performance will be a CD release concert for Mae’s new album Folklore and the first stop in her national cross-country tour. Joining her onstage are musicians Marc Atkinson, Daniel Lapp, Rick May, and Joby Baker.
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.
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 will be released in 2011, and the companion art book with a digital download of the new album is now available. A talented painter, Mae will also have some of her artwork on display at the Belfry show.
“Moore’s voice is a wonder, a round-toned, burnished instrument-like Lester Young’s tenor sax or Clifford Brown’s trumpet – that has been too long hidden north of the border.”
-Scott Nygaard, Acoustic Guitar Magazine
Though Moore’s greatest skill is at writing a simple folk tune, she also explores a jazz side... That keeps up with the Joneses – both Norah and Rickie Lee.”
-Charles R. Cross, No Depression Magazine

Hi folks,

I have been pulling my team together, and gearing up for the release of my album, Folklore. I am very happy to announce that I have just acquired new management with Global Arts. http://www.globalarts.ca (click to hear new songs)
Also on the roster is Adonis Puente, The Afro Cuban Allstars, Paco Pena and more.
Hello dear friends.......I have posted a sneak preview of one of the songs from my upcoming release, entitled Folklore. One of the new songs is called "Tom Thomson's Mandolin" I hope you like it!!! Click on 'listen' and let me know what you think.
Hi folks,
I was just sent a song from 1992 or so, that I have never recorded on a album. It's a song called 'Dog Days of Summer', and this was from the Winter Roots Festival in Vancouver, hosted by Steve Edge of the Rogue Folk Club. That's Stephen Fearing inducing me and joining me on acoustic guitar. Go to 'Listen' to, listen. I'm hoping that this will tide you over until I post some new songs from my upcoming album, Folklore. I'm back in the studio with Joby next week and then it's mix time! So far Joby, Marc Atkinson, Rick May, Daniel Lapp and Scott Sheerin are blessing this record with their talents.....I'm a lucky duck.
If you would like to be one of the first people to be informed of the release, drop me an email. As well, I am releasing a limited pressing of my artbook, also entitled Folklore, that will contain a digital download card of the entire album and full colour plates of some of my artwork.If this interests you, let me know. I'm only pressing 350 in the first run.
....all the livelong day
I've been working on a record
Just to pass the time away.
For you folks who keep asking, I am working with Joby Baker and plan on having my new album out in 2011. I am
very excited about this one..............more soon!
We've almost sewn up January...still a few more trees to prune. The snowdrops are up and I have started my onion seeds in flats. Two days ago, I was in the recording studio with Joby, laying down "The Rain Song", a tune that I wrote over 30 years ago, but never released. Now it's time. I had so much fun......you can't believe how talented Joby Baker is.....a wonderful human being, to boot. My dear friend Rick May came up to have supper with us, and then Scott Sheerin dropped by to lay down some soulful soprano saxophone. It all feels right....... Sold a painting, too! The stars must be aligned in my favour......I am blessed. I am working on some tour dates for the summer.(see calendar) Give what you can to those less fortunate. Thanks for checking in with me!
Greetings to you dear people and may 2010 bring you good health, good governance and great music. It is New Year's Eve as I write this entry and I have been reflecting all day on the state of the planet and those I love. I have been painting, but also recording a few new songs with my lovely and talented friend, Joby Baker. I really don't know what form these recordings will take; a new CD or ?? I am also lining up some solo concerts for 2010 and I will be posting that info in the spring, after I finish pruning the apple trees. Please be kind to the animals, plant a tree, and grow a garden.....oh! and drop me a line when the spirit moves you.
