Alison Demeter

At a very young age, prairie singer/songwriter Alison Demeter was introduced to country & western music by her father, and traditional Celtic music by her mother.  Added to this was pop, rock and folk in her teens and jazz school in the early 80's. The result -  an ever changing range of musical influences.

Although Alison has been writing songs since she was 10, it was in 2002 that she began sharing her songs at various venues and festivals around Alberta. Included are the Mountain View Music Festival, the Celtic Folk Club, Trail’s End, and the Pincher Creek Cowboy Poetry Gathering. She has recorded one traditional Celtic CD - Songs of Scotland and will soon release, Moments In Time, her first CD of original songs.

As well as having been chosen as a finalist in the Calgary Folk Music Festival in 2008 and 2010,  Alison received a bronze medal in 2006 and a gold medal in 2008 while competing in the Robby Burns Recital Competition at the Calgary Highland Games.

Alison offers the guests of the Water Valley Celtic Music Festival her gift of a strong, clear voice to tell the stories that celebrate the lives of ordinary people and an invitation to join in the singing of familiar traditional and original Celtic songs.
