Meredith Sheldon (born October 20, 1988) is a musician from Massachusetts.[2] She credits Evan Dando with giving her a leg up in the music business, being an early supporter of her demos, and says the same of Marina and the Diamonds.[2]
She toured as support on first leg of Marina and the Diamonds' The Lonely Hearts Club Tour.[4] She also toured with Dando-led The Lemonheads.[2] At least for some time in 2012 she appeared on stage with Jen Turner, bassist, as part of a project referred to in the contemporary reviews as Alamar.[3] In 2013 and 2014 she toured in support of Johnny Marr, opening for all his shows.
Personal information
She lives on Martha's Vineyard.[2]
The Bandcamp-downloadable studio music represents material the artist has been working on for several years.[2] A full-length studio album is to be completed "as a present to myself... and to you!" by Christmas 2014 and published shortly thereafter.
She maintains a very low social media profile, having made public her disinclination to participate in Facebook or Twitter; in fact, the Facebook page listed under her name as a musician is a self-admitted fan page.
