Métis sound artist Moe Clark fuses her unique understanding of performance narrative with traditions of circle singing and spoken word. With a background in voice, spoken word, and visual arts, she employs a looping pedal to add multi-layered vocal structures to her performance. Her poetic songs resonate with the power to heal, to celebrate spirit and to connect with authentic purpose.
After her debut album release “Circle of She: Story & Song” (April ’08) Moe toured extensively across Canada and recently made her debut performances in Europe and South America. Feature highlights include performances for the 2009 Maelström ReEvolution Poétique FiEstival in Brussels, Belgium, ’07-’08 Canadian Festival of Spoken Word, the 2008-2009 Diverse as This Land Performances at the Banff Centre, and the 2007 CBC Calgary Poetry Face-Off. Moe has collaborated with artists such as Ian Ferrier and Pharmakon MTL, Kathy Kennedy (Montreal), Sheri-D Wilson (Calgary), and Tanya Tagaq (Nunavut), among others.

Aside from her performance work, she facilitates voice, performance and looping pedal workshops and collaborates in areas of artistic production, composition and festival creation. She co-directed Circle Haiku, a poetry-music video with Emmanuel Hessler and the NFB, released in October 2009, she co-curated and designed Tusarniq, the second annual Indigenous Words, Music & Images festival in Montreal, and most recently she premiered her video poem Intersecting Circles, an award-winning poem from the 2007 CBC Calgary Poetry Face-Off. Moe believes in the power of transformation and the continuum of the oral tradition through active involvement in communities, both locally and internationally.

POSTER FOR THE red earth women presents moe show: redEARTHwomenMOEshow(3)
Accompanying Moe is Jeep. 
Jeep is a singer/songwriter from Moncton, NB. He’s mostly known as the lead singer for two seminal Moncton bands: punk legends “Syntax Error” and indie-poppers “the Great Balancing Act.” Jeep writes his songs from the perspective of an alien who has landed on Earth to observe, yet his “human emotion implant chip” has blurred the line between the observer and the observed.
