It's a tragedy that young people using music as an escape route from a terrible childhood is such a common story nowadays. However, solace can be taken in how every time you hear about a singer/songwriter like Meg Myers, then you can at least you know that the people turning to music in their time of need are finding a way out of the darkness because of it. Born to a Jehovah's Witness mother who left Myers' father when her daughter was a child, Myers spent the vast majority of her childhood travelling all over the U.S. Her mother and step-father ran a cleaning business that meant that they worked all night and slept it off all day, so Myers found comfort in her friendship with her siblings and her love of music, and by her early teens, Myers was writing her own songs and playing bass guitar in a band with her brother.
A few weeks prior to her 20th birthday, Myers decided that she'd had enough, and moved to Los Angeles, California in order to pursue a career in music. A few years after she moved there she met Doctor Rosen Rosen, a record producer who signed her to his production company and became her songwriting partner as well. Her debut EP “Daughter In The Choir” was released in March 2012, and was preceded by the single that would make some huge waves for her on both sides of the Atlantic ocean, “Monster”. By April 2013 she'd signed a record deal with Atlantic Records, has gone from strength to strength ever since, inviting comparisons to PJ Harvey, playing festivals the world over and even touring with The Pixies in September 2013. With her debut album scheduled to be released in July 2015, Meg Myers comes highly recommended.

Killer show.
Meg brings hellfire and brimstone to the stage, no doubt. Visually compelling throughout as Meg belts it out, writhes, and stomps around the stage. Her band was surprisingly tight including use of a cello for her songs that really benefit from it. The sound at the Mercy Lounge was great for this show.
Unfortunately I couldn't help feeling like this was a pretty short set, around an hour, maybe less. I imagine part of that is due to the strain on her voice from the screaming and shrieking she does in some of her songs, so that I totally understand. It's a good thing the show was reasonably priced and had an entertaining opener, though, otherwise it might've felt disappointing. I was surprised she didn't perform "Monster," but she did most everything else you'd expect her to do, obviously focusing primarily on the new album.
My only major complaint from the show is in no way Meg Myers' fault... I spent the whole show bobbing my head around and straining to see around the wall of smartphones of people taking pictures and filming practically the entire show. It was literally the worst of any show I've ever attended. Again, she's a lot of fun to watch, so I guess I understand, but at some point I can't fight the feeling people need to put their phones away and just enjoy the show. I'll start paying more attention to shows that have no phone rules, I know that.
Other than that, I highly recommend checking out Meg Myers on tour!

Of course there are hundreds of singer/ songwriters out there looking for their break, and all they need is one special feature that sets them apart from the crowd, and Meg Myres has definitely got this distinction. Her beautiful voice is captivating, but her powerful lyrics are what drew me to her originally. The first track I heard from her way Adelaide which focuses on the controversial and much avoided topic of domestic abuse, and hearing someone sing so powerfully about the subject was incredible to hear.
Seeing her perform live, I knew I was in for a great show. She’s renowned for being a fantastic live performer, and when her powerful and distinctive voice called out welcome to the audience and launched into her track Curbstomp, I was immediately aware that I was in the presence of great talent. She played a great selection of tracks, and even threw in a couple of covers to keep the audience engaged and singing along.
Myres was great at interacting with the audience, and was calling out to everyone to see if we were having a good time as well as putting on a great show. She even gave us some background information as to the origin of her songs, which was awesome to hear first hand from her.

She was just beyond incredible & I loved every minute of it! Can't wait to see her again! It was a very memorable experience even though I did go alone, but I still enjoyed myself. This way my first time ever seeing her, I was gonna go to KFMA Day just to see her but didn't gave the money at the time. Also I know that she bought be in attendance due to sickness but I'm so glad & happy that she came back here. I really liked the opening with the Australian band, I didn't catch their name though. She pretty much killed it & put on a hell of a show!

Meg Myers was Brilliant at ExpressLive Columbus, OH opening for Walk The Moon! I had VIP tickets to secure front row & hoped that Meg would be present for the VIP Fan Meet & Greet, but it was Walk The Moon’s Headline Show! I was the only person in the audience of 4000+ wearing a Meg Myers T-shirt! I tried to Represent! Plan to see Meg play in Detroit in a smaller venue & hope she can say “Hi!”

Meg Myers is one of those rare artists that comes along every once in a great while. The performance was wonderful and I was blown away by her incredible voice live. You can tell she puts her all into her music and her performance. She was also sweetly humble and kind in her words to the audience. I love her even more now!

She was incredible. Great performer and a beautiful voice. Loved the encore when she came out by herself. I can definitely see her becoming a household name. I'd definitely recommend.
