Album Notes

At 23, Meg Allison is smack-dab in the middle of the crazy-awesome-wonderful-frustrating life of a singer/songwriter-waiting tables by day, singing by night, and paying her dues.

After listening to Meg sing, it is evident that she possesses a gift for storytelling with heartfelt emotion. She writes the songs you can't get out of your head, with the lyrics you've lived. Meg's songs are not only inspired by her life, but by the artists she most admires such as Jason Mraz, Martin Sexton, Patty Griffin, Ryan Adams, and Ray LaMontagne. Witness one performance and you can tell that when on stage with her guitar on one side and a beer on the other, she is as comfortable as old jeans.

Meg has earned her loyal following since she first started playing out in college bars back at Miami of Ohio University, where she majored in Mass Communications. After graduating, she packed up her car and headed for Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Why not!? It was that summer in the mountains when she realized her passion for singing was no longer a hobby, but inevitably her career.

Now with the release of her debut album, Missing Piece, produced by Chris Keup (Jason Mraz, Josh Kelly, Jonathan Rice) and producer/engineer Stewart Myers (Lifehouse, Rachel Yamagata, Liz Phair) Meg continues to prove her talent. She has performed at Chicago venues: Uncommon Ground, Bordo's, P.J. Clarke's (sponsored by Budweiser), Tryst, Cavanaugh's, The Beat Kitchen (Chick Singer Night), Elbo Room, and Neybours. Meg has also played at CBGB's Gallery, New York, New York.
