Bio

Polaris Music Prize nominee Steph Cameron returns with Blood Moon (April 2025), her most sonically expansive album to date and her first full-band recording. Co-produced by JUNO Award-winner John Raham, the album features a stellar lineup including Darren Parris and Leon Power (Frazey Ford, City and Colour), Clayton Linthicum (Kacy & Clayton), Taylor Jade, and Eliza Doyle (formerly of The Dead South). Drawing on the rich textures of 1960s British folk and the golden warmth of 1970s country, folk, and rock, Blood Moon evokes the spirit of Fairport Convention, Fleetwood Mac, and Joni Mitchell while carving out a sound that’s wholly Steph’s own.

​

The album is already earning praise across the UK and Europe. The Rocking Magpie calls Blood Moon “nostalgic and thoroughly modern Canadian folk that will win your heart in an instant,” hailing Cameron’s songwriting as “melodic and refreshing” and her voice as “luscious… breezily poetic.” At The Barrier describes the album as “crafted, thoughtful, and quietly intense… Cameron is a hugely talented artist and songwriter whose music leaves a mark.”

​

Steph first garnered attention with Sad-Eyed Lonesome Lady, named the #1 Canadian album of the year by PopMatters and praised as “stunning” by No Depression. Her 2017 follow-up, Daybreak Over Jackson Street, was celebrated for its unflinching social commentary and lyrical depth.

​

With Blood Moon, Cameron expands her musical universe while staying rooted in the poetic storytelling and natural imagery that have defined her work. From the pacey, heartfelt single “Rain” to the socially charged “Seventeen,” the album reveals an artist unafraid to confront the personal and political with grace and grit.

Steph joins three-time Canadian Folk Music Award winner Abigail Lapell for a UK and European tour in May, including a stop at London’s iconic Jazz Cafe and performances across Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.
