Our Overview.
Canadian Folk music gem, the award winning singer-songwriter Catherine MacLellan, with her grace and charm captivates audiences with deep emotional connections through intimate lyrics as well as easy-going and light-hearted fun, and now she returns with her most anticipated seventh album ‘Coyote’. ‘Coyote’comprises of 14 songs recorded and self-produced at her studio in PEI, which are reflective and hopeful; a travelogue through heartbreak, loss and the joy of life. A corporeal experience from start to finish, the music of MacLellan comes in soft, smooth waves and feels like an eternal embrace to the body and mind.
Described by the Boston Herald as “A lyricist wise beyond her years and with a voice like honey dusted with gold she shares the gentle darkness of her lyrics which are sometimes countrified, sometimes lamentful and sometimes tinged with joy” Catherine is a musician’s musician, respected by her peers for her talent and dedication to the craft of songwriting; a craft she had a front row seat to at an early age, watching her father, the legendary Gene MacLellan. Seven albums and countless awards, including a JUNO for ‘aven’s Sun’, Catherine’s commitment remains at the heart of her work, evident to fans and industry alike.
Catherine MacLellan has become one of Canada’s finest and favorite singer-songwriters on her own merits. She’s kept away from the media circus and celebrity scene, preferring to live at home in rural Prince Edward Island. She’s worked diligently at her craft, releasing a series of remarkable, creative albums, culminating in the Juno Award-winning The Raven’s Sun from 2014, to go along with multiple East Coast Music Awards, Canadian Folk Music Awards, and Music PEI Awards. Most impressively, she has chosen to carve out her career path without trading on her family name.
