Tara MacLean is one of the great artists/people in the world.
Self-taught, her talent is nonpareil: a voice of a goddess, a heart of an angel.
Her memoir: Song of the Sparrow, is due out in March with an album that is the soundtrack to follow.
“Sparrow” is appropriately the 1st song.
Two exquisite singer/songwriters, Tara MacLean and her friend Catherine MacLellan, gathered together on Prince Edward Island in the Canadian northeast to record this beautiful song to guide us through the pandemic.

Lovesong
The truly wonderful Tara MacLean has been on hiatus for 9 years creating a family.
Recently she recorded an album honoring Atlantic Canadian singer/writers available June 28th.
Atlantic Blue consists of 14 songs including Snowbird, written by notable songwriter Gene MacLellan.
Snowbird
We had some friends over the other night who wanted to watch the opening ceremony of the winter Olympics. Hopefully you didn’t waste precious moments of your life viewing this sorry excuse for a spectacle. It was like a bad high school production with a large budget. Ok, let me say it straight. It sucked! Sorry to my friends North. And as the commentators fell all over themselves telling us how wonderful it was, I could not help thinking that it certainly was not the Canada that I know and love. Musically it did give proper deference to Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen, but the rest were American Idol wannabes. Where was Neil Young or even Rush for that matter, the latter at least having a prominent cameo in the popular film I Love You Man. Here are few other artists that I think of when I think of Canada.
