Meghan Patrick is one of the brightest rising stars in Canadian country music. If you've seen any of the coverage we've had of Meghan over the last two years, you know how we feel about that... spoiler: we think it's great.
Meghan's debut album, Grace & Grit is available now on CD and on iTunes & Google Play, and if you don't have it yet, we recommend picking it up because that's going to make seeing her live a lot more fun.Ms. Patrick will be all over the place this summer, appearing at CMT Music Fest, Boots & Hearts, the Calgary Stampede, Cavendish Beach Music Festival, Ottawa's RBC Bluesfest, Peterborough MusicFest, Murillo Country Fest, and more... which means you have a lot of chances to catch her up on stage, which we highly recommend.
In fact, we recommend it so much that we have 5 reasons to break down for you right now!
5 Reasons to See Meghan Patrick Live, Summer 2016!
1. The Music
If you haven't taken the chance to sit down and listen to Grace & Grit yet, it's time for you to get on that!The debut single, Bow Chicka Wow Wow, is already a favourite with live crowds and Canadian radio - and the title track is poised to do the same thing for fans across the country with more play and the new video (check it out at the bottom of this post).
Plus, if you're lucky, Meghan will play her cover of Dolly Parton's Jolene, and you can enjoy the hell out of that too!
2. She's a Cherry Bomb
To borrow a line from our pals the River Town Saints, she ain't a fire cracker, she's a cherry bomb!
Meghan's voice, song writing, and performances will make her a star... but her look on stage is going to make a lot of people take notice too. Is that more important than her talent? Heck no! But it doesn't hurt 😉
3. IT
We'd love to tell that we knew Meghan had "it" the 1st time we saw her at Boots & Hearts in 2013, but that might be over the top. What we can tell you is that she showed us her chops on the mic, guitar, and stage when she fronted Stone Sparrows then... and she continues to do that now as a breakout solo artist.If you haven't seen her live yet, you'll see "it" this summer when you do!
4. The Band
Meghan is a solo artist, but she isn't up on stage alone. Her entire band is talented and help to put on a hell of a show for every crowd they play for.
We especially have a soft spot for Ollie on the fiddle/guitar/everything he plays, that dates back to his days with Meghan as part of the Stone Sparrows.
5. Bow Chicka Wow Wow
We started with music, and we'll end with it as well.Bow Chicka Wow Wow has become a party anthem that the ladies love (the men do too). And when the ladies in the crowd are singing, dancing, and stomping along to the music, you know you're in for a great show!
Check out Meghan's website for all of her your dates and locations this summer and beyond.
Enjoy!
