Meg McRee

After attending Vanderbilt University on a full ride, Meg McRee traded her newly earned degree for the pursuit of an unpredictable dream as a songwriter. McRee was validated as more than a driven idealist with the signing of her first publishing deal at Hang Your Hat, a creative joint venture with Concord Music Publishing and hit-songwriter Hillary Lindsey. Since, she has had songs cut by Grace Potter, Elle King, Caylee Hammack, Paul Cauthen, Carter Faith, Ben Chapman and others. Meg has released four tracks off her forthcoming debut project as a songwriter-turned-artist with early support from playlists such as Apple Music’s Southern Craft, Spotify’s Indigo and Fresh Finds, and Amazon Music’s Emerging Americana. McRee co-wrote the most recent groove-driven release “Tried & True” with tour mate Lainey Wilson, alongside songwriter/artist Harper O’Neill, and producer Andrew Petroff, painting a vivid picture of the feelings that go hand-in-hand with a love that is true, despite being tested time and time again.

Meg finished her stint as 1^st of 3 on Lainey Wilson’s Country With A Flare Tour through the end of February and embarks on select dates of Morgan Wade’s No Signs of Slowing Down tour starting in mid-March. Her first full album Is It Just Me?, an album founded upon pleasantly unpredictable melodies, inquisition, and warm-hearted poetry that will make your feelings make sense, was released March 3, 2023. The buzz around newcomer Meg McRee was not only reinforced, but palpable, with a sold-out album release show at The Basement in Nashville, TN, a debut at #49 on the iTunes Country chart, impressive playlisting across platforms, and a spot on SiriusXM The Highway’s On The Horizon. The debut record has already garnered over 100k streams on the weekend of its release and the momentum continues to build as McRee’s debut is embraced and supported online by other artists like Paul Cauthen, Brent Cobb, Ashley Monroe, Lainey Wilson, Hailey Whitters, and more ahead of the video release for “Mary Jane & Chardonnay” on Tuesday, March 7.
