Mo's musical roots are in San Francisco where she was born and raised. As a singer-songwriter that plays guitar, piano, boran drum, and accordian, Mo's taste in music and original compositions span a range of styles. Her love for the folk, acoustic and jazz styles are echoed in her music and the huge influence of Joni Mitchell is apparent. Dreamers is gilded by the flawless musicianship and talent of Peter Sprague, Bob Magnusson, Sarah Watkins, (Nickel Creek), and other equally awesome musical entities. Here are some of Peter Sprague's notes on "Dreamers":
I was blown away at this women's voice and
songwriting abilities...Maureen's style reminds me
of one of my favorites, Joni Mitchell. Great lyrics
and melody, embracing the folk and jazz styles, a
gorgeous voice floating over a sensitive band. At
another moment she's singing her original jazz tunes
with a tongue in cheek, Mose Allison-like lyric.
"Golden Gate Park" is one of my favorites and on the
tune "Family", I'm even in there singing ethnic
background vocals.
Folks, you are missing it if you don't have this one
in your CD player!...Maureen Fleming's CD "Dreamers"
is one of the highlights of this year.
