Meredith Adelaide

Meredith Adelaide approaches each song with the patience of a craftsperson. Her work recalls the emotional honesty of Joni Mitchell, the sharp introspection of Adrienne Lenker, and the bare-room clarity of Ani DiFranco, yet she stands fiercely on her own. She is committed to creating heart-opening artworks that change the internal language of her audiences. Her warm, minimal guitar and floating melodies provide the backdrop as she shares an almost-too-personal internal process out-loud. One listener said "I hate how honest this is" after listening to "Big Songs," later confessing that it quickly became a favorite. An advocate of walking-the-talk, she brings her audiences straight to the heart of it. Leading with a little grief, a little grit and a grin, like laughing after scraping your knee, her work and live performances are often described as "raw" and “transcendent." And sometimes, "quite confrontational." But in a good way. She feels blessed to be given the gift of listening ears, and honored for the spaces to showcase her collections of songs.
