   About Meaghan Owens

_________BIOGRAPHY_______________________________________

Her lyrics are sweet and switchblade sharp.

Miss Meaghan Owens writes songs that are small fictions

of the Americana sound-scape. Her sound is Indie, it's Country,

it's Folky, it's filled with traces of Jazz and the Blues.

Amidst this era of popped-out American Idolatry,

Miss Meaghan seeks out the songs that live way down

in our true dreams and despairs, filled with real glamour and grit..............

.........Miss Meaghan is a Midwestern girl who's rambled

all over the place. She has toured extensively in the U. S.

from smoky Austin, Texas honky-tonks, to Milwaukee punk

rock clubs, to California folk gatherings alike. Meaghan has

shared the stage and opened for hundreds of talented musicians

including national country and folk acts like: Junior Brown,

Nashville Cats like the late Don Helms (pedal Steel legend

for Hank Williams Sr, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline) and Buddy Spicher,

Tracy Grammer, Stella Parton, Sigmund Snopek III, Heidi Spencer,

Jim Lauderdale, Catfish Stephenson, and Phil Lee, etc.

.........Never afraid of hard work, Miss Meaghan is paying

her dues, splitting her time living along the road or in Nashville,

playing vintage rockabilly car shows, touring with The World Famous

Wall of Death Trick motorcycle riders, playing venues like the Brink,

Bluebird Cafe, Shank Hall, The Stage Door, or Stage North.

She is honored to be included in many great music and song-writing

festivals in recent years including: Summerfest, The Steel Bridge

Songwriter Festival, The Frank Brown International Songwriters Festival, etc..

.........Owens sings in the folkloric voices of her characters.

Listen and you'll find young sweethearts, vagabonds, whiskey drunk

preachers, wild girl fights, french cabaret songbirds, and regular

folks like us, on the edge of a choice between light and darkness.

Real people, with real voices and stories. Meaghan sings in many

languages: Swedish, French, Russian, and Irish.

Currently, Meaghan is touring, working with G4V(Guitars for Vets),

writing, and recording her second CD, in Nashville and Milwaukee................

_______REVIEWS_______________________________________

"Owens' voice is sweet and strong, like a lilac bush

or a brandy old fashion.".

"Above all, the poetic Owens is a gifted lyricist

who pens a new patriotism steeped in the thinking person's

simultaneous love and dissapointment of America."..................

"If Marie Osmond is a little bit country and a little bit rock'n'roll,

Owens is also that--and more." (Snider-Edler

www.onmilwaukee.com)............................................

"This Milwaukee singer-songwriter has a languid delivery

and a quirky composing style on the title tune to her CD.

Accompanied by her own electric guitar playing,

it's a collection notable for its spare, stark production

and oddball, ear-catching novelties."

(Robert K. Oermann--Music Row Magazine)

.............................................................................................

The second edition of Meaghan's CD: No Whiskey in a Good Girl's River

is available in person at her shows. Digital distribution currently on hold.

(featuring guest artists from the Violent Femmes, The Danglers,

Get Up Kids, Heidi Spencer, Hayward Williams, ex-Aurore Rien

and ex-Murder in the Red Barn members)

The weather here has also warmed up so its pleasant outside ill probally get some fresh air later have a walk around . I am getting ready to start on a new song I cant sit back I always want to be working on the next song no matter how many new ones I have done or getting promoted ..lol but I still want to find a new vocalist to work with I have so many songs I want to start on but need a vocalist who is serious and wants to get on I  give 100% to any vocalist I work with , I dont  say one thing and do the other the only thing I do ask is that any vocalist who is interested  can make it to my studio when it comes time to do the main recording in between I can send mp3s for practising etc.
Well if you know anyone or are interested yourself let me know.
Take care I look forward to hearing from you, I really need your friendship its not to make numbers up for me or to promote my music, I think of you as a friend and hope it continues its just friends have an open ear to what ever  they tell each other and mine is music..lol well at the moment anyway lol.

RALLY AGAINST GREED: "Balance The Bucks" Concert in D.C.
Photobucket
“Balance The Bucks,” a free concert program to be presented on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., is slated for 2 pm Sunday, September 6. The unprecedented musical performance will feature artists from across the country on stage at the Sylvan Amphitheater adjacent to the Washington Monument.
The concert will feature a line-up of original tunes focusing on issues such as economic justice, redistribution of wealth, salary disparity, bailouts, foreclosures and the general impact of rampant greed.
Event organizer and host Delmark Goldfarb hopes to “try to punch a hole in the cloud of money influence which soothes and smothers the Capitol.”
For further details and/or to be a part of the sing-out, contact 503 708 7306; Del.Goldfarb@hotmail.com.
