Mae Robertson

about

When Mae Robertson was a new mother and the owner of three children's stores in the Northeast, a friend overheard her singing the traditional folk song "The Water Is Wide" as a lullaby to her baby. He convinced her to record a suite of traditional and contemporary songs as lullabies, and a new career was born. Now, with four award-winning albums in her Lullaby & Lovesong Collection - All Through The Night, The Sun Upon The Lake Is Low, Sweet Dreams of Home and Dream - Mae has built a loyal audience of listeners, both young and old. She has also garnered some remarkable reviews: "Her vocals are pure, spun-gold," raved the Los Angeles Times and according to Billboard, “Her dusky alto vocal range is a true treat and she has an understated yet memorable way with a lyric that renders anything she performs worth investigating.” The CDs have been named Notable Recordings for Children by The American Library Association; and they have also won awards from Parents’ Choice, North American Parenting Publications and The Oppenheim Toy Portfolio. Growing up in Alabama, Mae was influenced by the folk collections of her older brothers and sister. Later, she gravitated toward singer-songwriters because, like traditional folk music, their songs were lyric-driven. "I have always been drawn to the poetry and the story in songs,” she says. In 1995, Mae founded, and remains the president of, Lyric Partners, a music label dedicated to the idea that music for children need not teach, preach, or
