Musical artist

Meredith Godreau is an American vocaliser-songwriter performing under the pseudonym Gregory and the Hawk. Active since 2003, Godreau initially enjoyed independent success with two EPs and a full-length album selling a total of 15,000 copies.

Early on life [edit]

Originally from Medfield, Massachusetts, Godreau moved to Potsdam, New York, when she was twelve. This was where she learned a number of instruments, including piano, clarinet, oboe, violin and viola before settling on her "$70 Christmas gift": the guitar.

Career [edit]

Godreau then took on the pseudonym Gregory and the Hawk in 2003 to avoid beingness pigeonholed every bit a vocalist-songwriter, despite citing her influences as Nick Drake, Liz Phair and PJ Harvey. The name was derived from her brother, Gregory, and his imaginary babyhood militarist.

Demo EP [edit]

She released her demo EP, including early versions of "Boats and Birds" and "Isabelle".^[2] When asked about going by her real name, Godreau responded, "In that location is no reason for information technology. Simply, I'd walk by places and it'd say 'Playing Tonight – Joe Jones' and I retrieve that was super-tiresome and I'd never want to get to that show."^{[ citation needed ]}

Godreau began playing solo shows in small venues around New England until 2005 when she met Mike McGuire in New York. They played live shows together for several months before the bass guitarist Jeff Ratner and drummer Adam Christgau (both of the New York band Paper And Sand) joined the band. The four of them recorded the Boats and Birds EP.^[3]

Boats and Birds EP [edit]

In 2006, Gregory and the Hawk self-released the Boats and Birds EP every bit a home-studio project containing the songs "Isabelle" and "Boats and Birds". Both songs received a slap-up amount of attention on the MySpace social networking website, increasing Gregory and the Hawk's popularity. Before long after the release, the 4 friends moved apart, and so Godreau began playing alive with only Ratner on upright bass, and herself on acoustic guitar and vocals.^{[ citation needed ]}

FatCat records [edit]

In Your Dreams, Gregory and the Hawk's get-go total-length album, was self-released the post-obit twelvemonth with Mike McGuire and Susan Ambrose as the but other players. The album received many positive reviews merely information technology was not until a evidence in Brooklyn that FatCat Records discovered her. Earlier Gregory and the Hawk was signed, Godreau had already sold 15,000 copies of her demos and full-length album, had 18 pages of cover versions on YouTube, and had several solo shows. As stated by FatCat Records, "[nosotros] discovered our newest signing, Gregory and the Militarist, entirely by accident, whilst out i dark at a bar in Brooklyn. An unknown band came on stage and Meredith Godreau began to sing, instantly stunning anybody in the room." A month later, she was in the studio recording her first FatCat single, "Ghost", and first album, Moenie and Kitchi, which were released in September and Oct 2008, respectively.^{[ citation needed ]}

In an interview with AU magazine, Godreau was asked about her work with FatCat Records and responded, "I wasn't really aiming to be on a record label, only now that I am, there have been and so many great people that I've met in the final couple of years because of information technology that I would never, ever say that I wouldn't want to have that. I'm very glad nearly the people I've met, and not necessarily the technicalities of being on a label."^[four]

Moenie and Kitchi [edit]

In the recording of Moenie and Kitchi, many of the instruments were played by the album'due south producer, Adam Pierce (Mice Parade), with almost vocals and guitars recorded simultaneously in just one take.

I wrote the songs but I felt similar it was not something I could accept made on my own," Godreau told AU. Godreau decided to create her next album back in her own garage and studio.^{[ commendation needed ]}

Godreau wrote, "It turned out the idea behind the album was about traveling all effectually—both physically and psychologically—and observing many dissimilar places, people, and behaviors only always from a detached perspective, never directly involved. Traveling was a major influence on the album, as was personal change and growth." The album was released in Canada and the United States on November 9, 2010, and in the UK and Europe on November 15, 2010.^[6]
