Join us for singer/songwriter Megan Bee with special guest Bill Poss. No cover!ABOUT MEGAN BEE
Singer-songwriter Megan Bee writes with an unquenchable wanderlust and a deep love for the land. Her 2022 album "Cottonwood" has been called "as real as it gets – a raw and real telling of engaging, relatable stories." It was listed in the best of 2022 by Americana UK and No Depression Magazine and received mentions from American Songwriter and IAMA.
Her previous album "Waiting" (2020) earned The Ark of Music album of the year award. Past albums have garnered The Ohio Music Awards Best Americana and Best Singer-Songwriter Albums, and a finalist spot in the USA Songwriting Competition.
Her music is a blend of distinctly homespun vocals, acoustic simplicity, yearning soulfulness, and winsome storytelling. She weaves imagery and metaphor from nature into her lyrics. Her background as an environmental educator, traveling farmhand, and vagabond once took her into a desert wilderness where she found her voice around a campfire. Her live shows are an intimate sharing of personal experiences, observations, stories from the road, nature facts, and light-hearted humor.
She bases out of the rolling hills of Athens, Ohio and draws influence from the collision of Appalachian folk and modern songwriting. You can feel the presence of the foothills in her music yet her tendency to wander casts a wistful and adventurous color over the concept of “home”.
Over the past ten years she has released four full length albums and toured relentlessly. From coffeeshops, house concerts, festivals, and theaters she has roamed the country in her Dodge minivan sharing her simple songs. In 2022 she founded Words In The Hills LLC, a writing retreat in Southeast Ohio. The retreat welcomes creative writers of all genres to gather in a summer camp setting to take workshops, connect with other writers, and be inspired by the natural beauty of the region.
