Nancy Claire "Nan" Vernon (born October 7, 1967 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada) is a Canadian singer and actress. She is notable for providing the end credit music of both of Rob Zombie's Halloween films and for being part of the "singer-songwriter trend" of women nurturing folk music's rebirth. 　　The Eurythmics' Dave Stewart discovered Vernon. As she explains, "the story we used to tell was that I found Dave and Bob Dylan drunk and lost at a train station in Tijuana and that I gave them a ride home, but that wasn't how I met him. It was a call out of the blue from a friend of a friend who suggested that I might be someone Dave would like as a member of his band. Dave is the kind of person who encourages people." She subsequently "sang backup as one of his Spiritual Cowboys on Stewart's 1990 release. Vernon parlayed "her high-profile acquaintance with Stewart into a record deal and released Manta Ray in 1994, through Stewart's Anxious Records."
