I've been described as a cheeky Rickie Lee Jones meets Adele. I don't like to categorize myself but it's kinda of a jazz/folk feel. So this is where I'm hoping to share not only my music but some insights into how my brain works and my creative process. Stick around.
I've been working really hard on my latest songs and my EP called Packrat will be available August 8th. In the meantime, check out the new tracks on ReverbNation or the widget on the sidebar of my site.
This ebook specifically aligns with the Grade 6 Saskatchewan Science Curriculum. The book contains a songwriting guide and 8 song writing activities and original songs as well as a video.
Please download the book and use them with your students. The topics will obviously span a range of grade levels as well as the songwriting guide would be useful for many ages. Use all, parts or just listen and enjoy. It would be wonderful if you would provide some feedback on how you used it or see potential for this resource.

I’ll be performing at the Regina Folk Festival August 7-9. My main performance will be on Saturday 1PM. I’d love to see you all. Here’s a brief write up from the folk festival site.
Meredith Jordan (21) is one of Canada’s promising new artists. Hailing from the prairies, she grew up surrounded by the sounds of Joni Mitchell and James Taylor, but it was her jazz tendencies that led her to Humber College, where she studied Music. It was during her 4 years there she began to develop her own unique brand as the cheeky songstress. Her clever use of humor is refreshingly fun, and is becoming even more brazen in her latest writings.
Meredith Jordan just finished recording her first EP titled “Pack Rat” (to be released 08.09). With a love for both jazz and folk, Jordan blends the two together effortlessly. Playing her “Baby Taylor” along with sideman Kurt Buchanan as second guitarist, her sparkling melodies are complimented by her coy and easy vocal style. Meredith Jordan is a fabulous addition to Canada’s world-class music scene.
