Albuquerque, NM

Breathy vocals and firey lap-steel guitar.

Megan Hickey presently from Brooklyn NY. She lives in an apt by a subway line, the coney island express Red line I think she said.

I really think I should improve my writing after visiting her site. So take a shortcut and visit her site. Megan Hickey is supposedly the warm up act for Kathleen Edwards. She’s an act all on her own! She uses the steel lap slide guitar as I have never heard before and creates an urban legend that howls softly. She did a terrific performance all on her own. Tales report that she has a band back in Brooklyn, and that she just needed to get out of town for awhile. What better way to introduce yourself to new audiences than to travel with Kathleen Edwards and her band and support staff. You’ll see America from a new point of view by listening to Megan and Kathleen.

Megan found an attentive audience Monday night. I daresay people simply stopped talking as she started playing. She crafts the details of deep relationship experiences with a wailing urban verse. Playing with previously recorded tracks, she reaches out to our dreaming and interjects images and sounds from another world. She is soft and yet provides sharp insight into what moves underneath our skin: images and sounds perhaps from a universal sub-conscious. Includes the feelings that itched to be expressed.

Since you may not have been in attendance to the magical evening at SFBC pub and grill, may I suggest that you review the upcoming schedule and see if you can catch Megan Hickey live. If she isn’t coming to a town near you, then perhaps you need to book her at the nearest pub or bar near you. Leap into a new world of listening and dive deep within to connect. She provides a mystical performance and wonderful music all in one.
