As The Year Changes…

January 11th, 2010

Whenever we begin a new year I always go through a transition and an excited review of my year.  This has definitely been one of the most important years of my life.  Thank you to everyone who supported me this year and welcome to those of you I am just meeting.  I have sprinkled these last few years with survival and what I consider to be the beginning of my real life.  The deep waters of transformation have delivered me fresh and healed and I’m ready to meet the world again.  Specifically in ‘09  I’ve relocated and I love it. It’s a blast, I’m meeting new people and having a ball.  My first MBird tour was a month ago in Kentucky and I loved it!!!!  I’ve started putting together a live jazz record to release this fall (‘10).  I’ve been working with kids in theater, dance, and music while continuing to write music and play jazz clubs.  I’ve finished recording and began the release of my original record “Over The Bones” and will be embarking on a radio tour in the spring of ‘10 that will drop me somewhere in Europe by summer.

“Over The Bones”  at www.mbirdmusic.com has helped to direct me creatively and supply me with seeds to plant all over this country.  I feel I am serving my gypsy nature and supporting my belief in great live music!!!!!  My motto is “All the towns I can play and all the people I can meet along the way bring me half way home to my heart”!!!   All of your comments and enthusiasm about this record have encouraged me to really push this tour and to move my music face to face and up close and personal.  Thanks for all your support and keep writing on our facebook fan page and follow my tweets at

Happy New Year Everybody

The New Music

Hey everybody I hope this post finds you nice and cool

…well I’m finally finished with another record.  It’s titled MBIRD “Over the Bones” a new linked website will be built and available for listen and download soon.  This new project has been in the works for the last year and has been a great usher and diary to me while coming out of my surgery over the last year and a half..

(I had some serious time to reflect if you know what I mean)

Its an all original record with its roots based in traditional folk-rock and country.  My greatest music influences from my childhood were always great Jazz and great songwriters.  Which made this transition very natural.  I picked up the guitar a week after my surgery with nothin and started playing these songs.  They just poured out.  Its like Wilco and Shelby Lynn met at my house of Jazz and made a record through my mouth. HAHAHA!!! We recorded half in Nashville and half in KC.  Wow, writing this down is wild!!!  Who knew?  I certainly didn’t expect this but I let go of expectations a while ago.  It’s been a huge journey for me stepping into all of this, especially since a clear road has not been my experience in a long time.  That is always a stretch.  In fact, there were times during this when I thought “what am I doing?”, but with the support of great musicians and a great producer, Jack Sundrud, I’ve turned the corner into a beautiful music life.  It incorporates all of my favorite kinds of music. I live in KC singing Jazz two weeks out of the month and then two weeks in Nashville making this record sing into your ears.  

Be looking for the new record and it’s new website starting in September. I will also be starting a new Jazz record in late fall which will be my first half original half standard Jazz record too.  Thank you for all your love and prayers…enjoy the music!

Live the Dream…

Love Megs
