Description of Meg Hutchinson's Music:

Contemporary singer/songwriter

Comparisons:

Meg Hutchinson's work doesn't sound unlike other great New England singer/songwriters. Fans of Dar Williams (who, granted, now lives in New York) and Kris Delmhorst would appreciate Meg's beautifully descriptive, introspective tunes. Her music also calls to mind her early influences, like Greg Brown and Joni Mitchell.

    Meg Hutchinson Biography:

    Meg Hutchinson grew up in a small town in rural Massachusettes, but now lives in Boston. After earning a degree in creative writing, she set out on a tour that would take her to Kerrville Folk Festival, where she won the New Folk competition. She's also received honors from the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival, Telluride Troubadour Songwriter's Showcase, and MerleFest.

    Four years later, she released her long-awaited debut, The Crossing in 2004. The album was produced by Crit Harmon (Martin Sexton, Mary Gauthier), and was well-received by fans and the press, alike. Her follow-up, 2008's Come Up Full, was released on Red House Records.
