Information/Write-up

"Ancestral Songs" finds Pamela Morgan revisiting her traditional roots, presenting 10 songs that she learned in the 70's from traditional singers, and arranging them for guitar.

For 19 years, Pamela Morgan was lead singer, guitarist, and arranger for the Canada’s pioneering “Celtic” band, Newfoundland’s Figgy Duff, who brought the traditional music of Newfoundland to the world stage. Since then, Pamela has been spearheading her own independent record label, Amber Music, producing music for NL's finest roots artists, including three of her own solo CDs, and licensing tracks to various labels worldwide. Over the last few years, she has represented Canada at Expo in Japan, toured extensively in England, Canada, the US and Europe, and overseen productions of two original scores for live theater, including her own folk opera, “The Nobleman's Wedding.” She continues to write, arrange, perform, and tour, in her own highly original and hauntingly beautiful style.
