Meredith Luce, on the release of her new live album...

Meredith Luce is a chickadee...like that cute quirky little bird of
which she has written, her sweet, reedy and full, clear voice is the
piccolo pure solo in the concerto of any afternoon--to say nothing of
her remarkable guitar playing and her intelligent, emotionally mature
and well-crafted songs. Her music is one of our favourite sounds here
at the branch where we have had the honour of hearing it so many
times; she came to us for the first time over 4 years ago as a
teenager with a precocious talent, I'll never forget her first
show...we were having a quiet night, but she was on fire--there were
only about 5 people in the room, but after experiencing the magnetic
presence of this talented artist, at the next show, everyone who had
been to the first came back and brought friends...a trend that has
continued unabated ever since to the point that we now have to turn
people away whenever we are lucky enough to have her back. It has been
a pleasure and a thrill to be among those folks in the front row
watching her grow into that big voice and all of those incredible
stories. Meredith was an easy choice as the first artist to perform
in our new 'Listening Room' series of shows, (the show that is
documented here,) and this cd will make that apparent to anyone who
hears it for one simple reason...she is well worth listening to.'
