A native of Ohio, all-American songbird Meg Cavanaugh dug deep in her formative years into the Great American Song Book and the peerless singers of jazz's golden age. Mixing these influences with some classic country and blues she arrived at her very own take on what great songs should sound like.
Her husky tones and disarming presence have been gracing stages big and small in the UK and Europe for nearly a decade, whether playing to packed houses singing with the band in smash hit London show The Drowned Man (PunchDrunk), leading her combos at hipster speakeasies or underground parties in her adopted home of Hackney, or touring the large auditoriums singing with acts such as Matt Bianco. Meg is a sure fire hit for any occasion.
"Having toured the world and worked with major artists all my music career I can confidently say that Meg Cavanaugh fits into the world class category. A stunning performer with real heart and soul she delivers both original and cover songs in her own unique way. She's got the voice of an angel and is a fine guitar and ukulele player to match. I've worked with Meg both in the studio and live and I can tell you she'll blow any crowd away. You need a performer to stop you in your tracks? Call her now!
