My artist name is Meghan VK (find more at meghan VK d o t com)
I'm looking to connect with musicians who would want to be a band and learn my originals and a handful of covers, to play out with me and fill out that full sound. I'd love to book shows in NY, NJ, CT, MA and really start to branch out, including festivals.
Can be hired gun if they like, I'm looking to rehearse mainly when shows are coming up; side note: in the name of all that is holy, please learn your sh*t - speaking from experience, it's such a waste of time when people repeatedly show up to rehearsal and don't know how the song goes at all.
I am endorsed by radio station My Country 96.1, and am the house band for the pre-show when national acts come through town at the amphitheater. In years past I've opened for Chris Stapleton, Old Dominion, Chris Janson, Brett Eldredge, and many others.
I am a member of the ASCAP country writers workshop class of 2020. From there I was chosen for a cowrite with Bonnie Baker (Hunter Hayes, Reba McIntyre, Rascal Flatts).
My songs have earned both "One to Watch" and "Recommend for publisher luncheon" accolades from NSAI (Nashville Songwriters Association International.) My last song, The Hearse, was picked up at a pitch by an A&R rep at UMPG.
I have performed at The Bluebird Cafe, The Commodore, and Belcourt Taps in Nashville, TN. I have cowriters based in Nashville as well as NY.
