From the minute you meet Megan, you know her. Her spirituality, past loves, losses, and the truth behind her stories and songs. She is as open with herself as she is with her songwriting. Combining honesty and a powerful voice to create an unbeatable performance,
Megan Nash is the shivers down your spine, the sugar in your tea and
the feeling you can’t shake on a late night walk in the middle of
nowhere.
“There’s injury and an-open, perversely
inviting sadness that reminds one of Elliot Smith. She has a Canadian
charm, not unlike Serena Ryder. She has an audacious femininity, like Martha Wainwright. Her songs have some groove and northern darkness, kind of like Sondre Lerche.” - Sebastien Bell, Assiniboia Times.
Megan Nash is based in rural Saskatchewan,
where she recorded her most recent album “Song Harvest: Volume One” in a
100 year old church. A testament to new love and the rustic, rural
church, the songs on Song Harvest are "...raw, and so much more real.
It’s easy to imagine sitting in the room as Megan sings and plays for
these recordings. You feel connected, it’s as though you are living the stories in the music along with her." - Music Regina Live.
Her sophomore recording effort was well received by critics and
audiences alike. "Showing off a voice that ranges from a soothing coo to
a thunderous growl (all in the same song), Song Harvest Volume One tackles themes of love and loss without sounding cliché." - Exclaim!
Nash has has toured the majority of Canada and has opened for the likes of Serena Ryder, Amelia Curran, The Heartbroken, and Del Barber. Nash has showcased at Folk Alliance 2015 through Breakout West, Organization of Saskatchewan
Arts Council, and as part of JUNOfest 2013. She has been a two time
nominee for the Prairie Dog’s Best Solo Act and was named Moose Jaw’s
Best Celebrity in 2014 and Best Local Artist in 2015 by the Moose Jaw
Times Herald readers.
Nash’s country background adds to her current pop and alternative influences. Nash is heavily influenced
by the sounds of Neko Case and Stevie Nicks and by the words of Leonard
Cohen. Drawing heavy on the vastness of the prairies, her rural roots
are apparent in her carefully crafted songs.
