Wild Earp takes you on a road trip across Americana, taking his time along those country roads and learning some bad habits in the city. His songs are of a man who’s spent too much time alone in the forest, the prairie, the mountains, the desert, and the barroom. With a respectful nod to the old masters and a defiant scoff at the purists, Earp croons his country tunes, and mixes those pensive trail songs with wide western soundscapes, country fried rock n’ roll, and sometimes ventures into the dark corners of folk. His lyrics thread traditional tales of heartache, sinful living, and celebration seamlessly with social commentary and absurdism. There’s wit, wisdom, woe, and a wild streak that keeps you guessing.
Sweet Megg is a singer based in Nashville but originally from New York City. Her vocals reveal a vast variety of influences, ranging from Billie Holiday to Patsy Cline. She got her start as a songwriter performing in the city and was inspired heavily by the folk writers of Greenwich Village. After high school, she found herself down in North Carolina where she trained as a raft guide and got her first taste of Southern music. The sounds of bluegrass and country intrigued her and she always felt a longing to return. She continued songwriting in college and eventually moved to Paris to study jazz where she began performing around town with local musicians. After college, she returned to New York City and fell head first into the early jazz community where she found the excitement of improvisational jazz accompanied by the storytelling of the early blues and country music which she loved so much. She flourished in that community and her first formation, Sweet Megg & the Wayfarers, gained popularity and began touring outside of the city.
