Meg Braun is a singer/songwriter in the
truest sense of the word. Blessed with both
a voice that projects strength and sweet
vulnerability, plus a gift for lyrical melody,
Meg's songs draw listeners in with universally
appealing, yet deeply personal, tales of
love, loss, transformation, and joy.
Born and raised in Ohio, Meg came to New
York City in 1995 to pursue a career in nonprofit
advocacy, but soon found herself
drawn back to her first love, folk music.
Within a few years, she became a fixture on
the downtown NYC scene, writing and performing
original songs inspired by the artists
she loved growing up – Simon & Garfunkel,
Indigo Girls, Shawn Colvin and Sheryl Crow.
Hey Meg! Wow! So great tohear from you again! 2002 wasnt THAT long ago, was it? Congrats on the CD - looking forward to hearing it. Perhaps we can trade gigs together sometime? Charlie
Meg, Great show last night at Chris'! I wanted to stay and talk to you about the Slope where I lived for a dozen years, but I had to put my kids to bed (they were responsible for the occasional scream you may have heard coming from downstairs). In any event, powerful songs and a great voice. Will make arrangements with you or Chris to support your effort. Thanks again, Tom
