She released her first album with the Nettwerk Music Group in 1996 and Sony Music Publishing Canada. Since then has been signed with Capitol Records, and EMI Canada with her JUNO-nominated band Shaye. She has written and recorded six solo albums and two with Shaye. MacLean has recently received the Senate of Canada Medal for her activist work in her community. She finished a run of three summer seasons with her hit theatre show that she wrote, produced, and directed called Atlantic Blue: The Stories of Atlantic Canada’s Iconic Songwriters in Charlottetown, PEI. The summer of 2019 saw Atlantic Blue produced and directed by the world famous Charlottetown Festival, playing three nights a week to sold-out crowds. MacLean received the SOCAN Songwriter of the Year award as well as Solo Recording of the Year for her latest album, Deeper at the PEI Music Awards. Deeper was nominated for Pop Album of the Year at ECMA 2020. Her duet with Catherine MacLellan, "This Storm", received the award for Song of the Year. She performed Songs from Atlantic Blue in concert with the PEI Symphony Orchestra. Last year, MacLean received the Stompin' Tom Award by the East Coast Music Association, marking an outstanding contribution to music in the region. She is an environmental and social justice activist, a Zen student, a poet, author and a playwright. She resides primarily in her home province of Prince Edward Island, and also lives part-time on Salt Spring Island, BC, and considers herself bicoastal. Her memoir, Song of the Sparrow, is out now via Harper Collins Canada, with an accompanying album to be released March 31, 2023 via turtlemusik.
