Mary Jane Lamond is a sharer of songs, stories and spirit. Mary Jane's latest recording " Storas” (Gaelic meaning "a treasure"), is a beautiful interpretation of some of the Scottish Gaelic songs that have become part of Nova Scotia’s Gaelic tradition. Her use of modern instrumentation and arrangements provides a respectful and beautiful framework for these Gaelic treasures but it is Mary Jane's spell binding vocal performance and heartfelt delivery that makes these selections truly come alive for the listener. Mary Jane is a knowledgeable, admired and reputable musician within the domestic and international ‘world music’ market, a leader in the preservation of Celtic heritage, and an expert in Celtic culture and Gaelic music. She has earned several Juno and East Coast Music Award nominations and awards for her unique style that combines traditional Gaelic songs with modern musical arrangements. Originally from Ontario, Mary Jane spent a lot of her childhood with her grandparents in Cape Breton, and this is where she developed her love of Scottish Gaelic traditions and songs. While enrolled in Celtic Studies at Saint Francis University, Mary Jane released her first album, a collection of traditional material that introduced her unique singing voice and a then unknown fiddler named Ashley MacIsaac. The two talented musicians then collaborated on the award-winning radio smash "Sleepy Maggie". Mary Jane has since released three recordings; Orian Ghaidh (2000), Suas e!(1998), Lan Duil(1997) and has composed and produced tracks for television, feature films, and specialty projects. Mary Jane has garnered critical acclaim and developed a worldwide audience touring extensively throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Mary Jane Lamont partage ses chansons, ses histoires et son coeur.
