Meg Allison grew up in Evanston, Illinois, just north of Chicago. Born with a musical ear, she took to the piano at an early age but became bored and “too cool” for lessons in high school. After graduating in 1999, Meg picked up the guitar and left Evanston to attend Indiana University. Singing and writing songs was her therapeutic outlet as she faced the new found freedoms and challenges of being away from home. Meg's first experience on stage was an open-mic in Indiana, where she swears her heart jumped out of her throat. But as time passed, she embraced and eventually thrived on the warmth of the bright lights. Her sophomore year of college she transferred to Miami University where she played weekly gigs in college bars. By her senior year, Meg won first place in an acoustic competition and was awarded the opportunity to open for a headlining band. After graduating with a degree in Mass Communications in May 2003, Meg packed up her car and moved out west to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where she quickly landed regular shows at the Silver Dollar Bar in the historic Wort Hotel. From the flat lands to the mountains, Meg's songwriting continues to mature. And at age 22, she has more drive than ever to become something sensational.
