Meghan Carr grew up in a home where music was a priority. She was exposed to all kinds of writing styles including that of Jude Cole, Tracy Chapman, Jewel, Paul Simon, Loudon Wainwright III, The Clancy Brothers, Peter Gabriel, Shawn Colvin, Billy Joel, Melissa Etheridge, Sting, and countless other song-crafters.
Honing her guitar and vocal skills, Meghan performed occasionally with her parents and at school, and contributed harmonies on her mom's "Stones Unturned" and "Alukaleigh Lutz" CD's. It seemed inevitable that she would eventually write and record her own CD, "Grounded". Comprised of 10 originals, it includes Meghan on guitar and vocals, Ben Carr on bass, and Ryan Watts on percussion.
The songs encompass a wide range of emotions: The ballad "Never Mine" may bring a sigh or tear, but "Missing Sock" will balance it with a good laugh. "Seize the Day" will give hope and, thanks to Meg, "Awkward Silences" will never be the same.
