Hi All!

Been a LONG time since there's been a post from me. I've been crazy busy with Give for Greatness (http://www.giveforgreatness.org) which I became Executive Director of back in mid-june 2011. I've played a few gigs but haven't been good about my gig calendar and that all changes now. Join me New Years if you don't have plans at Nietzsches, where I'll be playing with The Albrights, Aqueous, The Andrew J. Reimers Country Punk Extravaganza and Erie Lackawana Railroad. Here's a video a friend took of an open mic I happened in upon and was asked to get up and play a few tunes. This is a newer song and one that will be on the long awaited next album, which I intend to record this winter. Happy holidays and hope to see you at a gig soon!- Megan :)

Happy Holidays all!

Below find a link for a rough cut video that award winning film-maker Ragnar Friedank did this summer, used my  song Catskill for this workshop he was offering in the Hudson Valley. The strange thing is, he used the song without knowing (UNTIL AFTER) that I wrote Catskill IN THAT HOUSE! How weird and wonderful. Ragnar and I have been talking about making a full video for awhile, so hopefully this is the year. Enjoy! http://www.vimeo.com/12338345

So I just did three plays in a row, "Engaged" at Irish Classical Theater, an all female version of "Macbeth" at Shakespeare in Delaware Park and then just directed a powerful piece about coal miners in appalachia entitled "The Furies of Mother Jones." There has hardly been time to breathe, but somehow during that an almost all lady ensemble of killer musicians has assembled, aka Foxangelica. The groove at Jack Devine's is coming up on it's first birthday, and there are lots of great things in the works. Check the calendar page for Foxangelica's upcoming gigs. This new lineup features Emily Gaines, Eva Tashjan, Emily Elkin, Hanna Lipkind, Lisa Sperry and others! I promise to be better about keeping you all posted as to what is going on! Hugs from Ireland.
