MEGAN D (Megan D)

After releasing her debut EP ‘Out in the Ocean’ and follow up single 'Holding On' in 2018 (produced by Billy Kennedy and Andy Monaghan of Frightened Rabbit) Glasgow based singer-songwriter Megan D has flipped the conventions of a touring musician on its head in 2019. Taking up residency in a new city each month across the UK, she’s grown pockets of dedicated local following in various places with her unique style of bittersweet folk music with an uncanny rapport with audiences and passion for free gender expression and LGBT rights.
