About the Artist

By age17, Megon McDonough was opening for such folk acts as John Denver, Steve Martin and Harry Chapin. She has performed on stages as diverse as Carnegie Hall and the Cellar Door. Megon is best known for her work as an inaugural member of the folk group The Four Bitchin’ Babes, which allowed her wit and folk sensibilities to comment on the ups and downs of everyday life. To date, Megon has 19 solo albums to her credit, and is best known for her inspiring song “Amazing Things.” Megon classifies her music as folk/cabaret, citing her love of theater and jazz as the reason for the unusual mix.
In addition to her singing career, Megon has also had an acclaimed acting career. She received rave reviews for playing Patsy Cline in “Always Patsy Cline,” and was nominated for the prestigious Joseph Jefferson Award, she has appeared in Pump Boys and Dinettes and was recently seen in “Forever Prine” at the Viaduct Theater in Chicago.

Megon lives in Evanston, IL. And is hoping to get a dog in the Spring!
