Meg Johnson - Vocalist

 

Meg Johnson has a vocal style that immediately draws the listener in and puts them at ease. She sings jazz standards with a sophisticated soulful energy.

Meg studied voice at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in the early 90’s and has fronted several projects that fuse jazz, blues and soul. Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald and Betty Carter are leading influences.

Before relocating to Austin in 2007, Meg performed with her band on the East Coast. In New York she worked with a myriad of talented musicians including pianist Pete Levin, singer Eric Mingus, drummer Eric Parker and bassist Chris Wood.

The Meg Johnson Trio features Austin’s “most eclectic enlightened guitar hero” Russell Scanlon and the "queen of the upright bass”, Jessica Valls. The group has a natural and relaxed approach to favorites like Skylark, ‘Round Midnight and Route 66. Meg will include these songs and more on her upcoming album in 2017.
