Amelia CurranCurran started playing guitar and writing songs as a teenager and eventually dropped out of university in order to busk on the streets of St. John’s. That led to her first album release in 2000, and since then she hasn’t looked back. Now with five albums to her credit, Curran’s lyrics have been described as "evocative" by Spinner Canada who, referring to Curran’s song, The Mistress, wrote that, “Like the best poets, Curran packs so much meaning into each line that the listener barely has time to register each clever lyric before the next zinger comes along.” Curran’s latest release, Hunter Hunter, has earned her the prestigious 2010 Juno Award for Roots and Traditional Album of the year, along with 4 ECMA nominations. Although Curran was born in St John’s, NL, she currently lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
