m.e. law - BEST #livemusic #Toronto

m.e. lights up the Toronto music scene. A talented, charming and entirely entertaining jewel of a human being, she brings to others her musical joy, inspiration and wit, to the delight of all.

 

"Been back in Toronto for over a year, so much has happened, super gigs and I'm sitting in with wow artists that I love all over town. Check out my newest recordings, Beautifully Broken and Fall Away, produced with tone guru, Nick Blagona, thank you Nick & MJ. I'm so happy to present my newest song, The Other Side. I produced and recorded it in Toronto - a great collaboration with Bob Cohen on bass and guitar, Craig Downie on penny whistle and engineer Reuben Huizenga. I have lots of other music cooking - an EP coming soon? I love my Toronto life!" - m.e.

SAN DIEGO TROUBADOUR FRONT PORCH FEATURE, JULY 2016 ISSUE

Back in Action with M. E. Law, By Frank Kocher

m.e. sat down for a friendly interview/visit with Frank Kocher to talk about life as a working musician with a busy and varied career. Thank you Frank. Here's an excerpt:

"Her  music is at the same time soft and ethereal and wickedly satirical and clever—with lyrics that have to be listened to. Her melodies may be Bossa Novas or floating folk themes and can change in the next moment into a quirky observational blues or jazz statement about our ever-more puzzling world. M E Law has a uniquely Canadian view on life and music."

 

LAUGHING MY A.O. CD REVIEW

 By Frank Kocher, August 2016 issue, San Diego Troubadour

CD review in San Diego Troubador April 2015 issue

Journalist, musician and music collector, Frank Kocher, reviews m.e.'s Peace, Love, death and Chocolate CD with well-deserved praise: "Law, by turns, is a breathy, almost ethereal folk songstress, weaving atmospheric tales that bring to mind a rootsy Kate Bush, then in the space of a track can either get down and bluesy, soar over a jazzy lattice, or play quirky observational pop with clever lyrics." Read the full article, listen to (and buy) the CD, you will agree, m.e. is the real singer/songwriter deal.
