Listen Later

 We had so much to talk about with Sweet Megg, including her latest album “Never Been Home” and how it got its name. From starting as an opener on a ukelele to moving to France to study jazz music, to doing a Cirque de Soleil country music project, Sweet Megg has been a road warrior and storyteller! We had a great chat with her and learned so much about what makes Sweet Megg, well, Sweet Megg!    

 Sweet Megg is a dynamic vocalist and songwriter originally from New York City, now based in Nashville. She began her career at just 16 as a songwriter and has worn many hats since: whitewater raft guide, DIY anti-folk artist, Parisian and New York jazz singer, honky-tonk angel, and circus ringleader. 

Her diverse travels and experiences have imbued her music with rich history and boundless innovation. Her vocals are both expertly trained and refreshingly raw, making her sound relatable and captivating. 

 Megg’s music weaves together many threads of the American story—her Irish heritage, early blues training in high school, years immersed in the jazz world, explorations through the American South, inspiration from East Village poets, and the honky-tonk traditions of Nashville. The result is a sound that feels both timeless and refreshingly modern, offering a unique blend of old and new.
