She is the queen of the topical song and the zip-lock bag. She's an ACTRA award-winning singer-songwriter who does concerts all over Canada, and is best known for her fifteen years doing songs about the news on CBC Radio's Sunday Morning. Among her most popular albums are Momnipotent: Songs for Weary Parents, Pumping Irony, and Homely for the Holidays. Her latest album, Gaelic Envy and Other Torch Songs, has received excellent reviews in Canada and the US.

Nancy was born in Prince Edward Island (before The Link), went to Dalhousie, studied Spanish in Guatemala, lives in Toronto with her two daughters, eleven and seven (1997), and her cat, Jack. She does not bake her own bread, tends to vote NDP--however hopeless that may seem in Ontario--and plays guitar, banjo, and piano. She claims her house is a shambles, her garden a disaster, that she hates long walks and candelight dinners, BUT we know she sings on key and gets to the real story!

In a review of Pumping Irony, Mike Regenstreif, writing in Sing Out, described Nancy as like "Tom Paxton writing from a female and Canadian perspective."
