Folk/Rock Power Ballads. If you don't know the words...sing louder!
Meghan Cary’s shows are hailed as healing, inspiring and outrageously joyful. As John Platt (of WFUV) extols "These times require songs of compassion and commitment, and Meghan has several which inspire us to reach our higher selves. She sings them with such infectious joy you can’t resist joining in!" With her smoky voice, powerful stage presence, and award-winning songs, Meghan brings to mind Melissa Etheridge, Brandi Carlisle, and even Bruce Springsteen.
Meghan didn’t mean to be a musician, but when her fiancé unexpectedly died, she picked up his guitar, figured out how to play it, and wrote her debut, earning her Billboard Magazine’s Critic’s Choice Award. “I wrote my grief into song and sang my way out of the abyss. I keep making music to help others connect with their own stories and find their joy.” Meghan continues to share the healing power of music with the community that has rallied around her message of hope and being heard. Her latest album, SING LOUDER, debuted in the top 10 on the US/International Folk DJ Chart, and her song, “Sing Louder”, has become an anthem for the music-loving community.
Meghan has shared stages with Joan Osborne, Lucinda Williams, Chris Smither, Christine Lavin, Sloan Wainwright, and Little Feat among others.
As a musician/actor/writer/coach and the mother of two school age children, Meghan speaks to the subject of life balance with grace and a healthy dose of humor. “As soon as I think I have my story written, someone comes along and changes the setting...or the characters…or the plot. Usually all three. My mantra: 'If you don't know the words...Sing Louder!'”
