After two critically acclaimed albums, opening dates with some of country and rocks top musicians, and appearances at some of the most storied venues across the country, Meghan Hayes has landed in Nashville to write her third record and lend her lyrical talents to other musicians.
"Her music has been labeled everything from folk-rock, to alternative pop, to new Nashville," says Singer Magazine. "But it doesn't really matter what you call it; I call it good."
PopMatters calls Meghan a "songwriter capable of sharp introspection and character examination resting somewhere between the literacy of Aimee Mann and the mass market sheen of Sarah McLachlan."
The Cumberland Times-News says her "work speaks for itself with sharp-witted Dylanesque lyrics, a potent attitude that feels like [Van] Morrison and poignant imagery reminiscent of Springsteen."
On stage, Meghan is known for her "wry humor" (Washington Post), "bowling over audiences and critics alike" (Cumberland Times-News); The Daily Vault summed it up best: "Meghan Hayes is a prodigious talent, both an imaginative, original songwriter and a singer with a gift for wrapping her voice around a song."
For a hint about the direction of her next record, check out 'A Birthday in the Pawnshop (Morristown)', a track Meghan recorded in July 2006 for the Americana compilation The Other Side: Music From East Nashville. Both sparse and sweeping at once, 'Morristown' is an ode to a lost family in a lost town, with a dark, surprising twist at the end. The compilation features notables such as Todd Snider, Elizabeth Cook, and Last Train Home.

Spring is here and so are the butterflies! This week I have a gallery of a particular group of butterflies called Brushfoots. Brushfoots are the most commonly known and encountered of the large colorful butterflies (excluding the swallowtails) found in Florida and the Americas. These include the monarchs, fritillaries, buckeyes, and the viceroy below (who has nearly identical markings as the toxic monarch butterfly) to keep it from being eaten by birds.... cool trick, huh? :-)
Click the butterfly below to see my gallery - and please let me know what you think!
