WATCH MEG MAC ALBUM TEASER HERE

MEG MAC's full Australian tour dates have been unveiled today, as the mesmerising singer
songwriter prepares to release her debut long player, LOW BLOWS, on July 14.
MEG MAC's previously listed shows at The Enmore Theatre in Sydney and The Forum in
Melbourne sold out very quickly. A second show at The Forum has already been announced
and is selling out fast - full details of MEG MAC's Australian tour presented by Triple J are
listed below.
LOW BLOWS, set for release on littleBIGMANrecords on July 14, is a powerful set of
dynamic, deep soul, exhortations that have an all-enveloping atmosphere and presence,
distinctly and uniquely MEG MAC. It was recorded in Fort Worth, Texas with Niles City
Sound, who produced and played on Leon Bridges' album 'Coming Home'.
The recording focused on capturing a great live vocal performance, driven by a dynamic
rhythm section and punctuated by her piano. MEG MAC says, "Overall I wanted it to really
feel like I was just singing in the room to you. So a lot of the vocal performances are live and
unedited, I think it was important to do that".

"Every song on her debut LP is magnificent". Idolator USA

ABOUT MEG MAC:

In 2014 MEG MAC was named Triple J's Unearthed artist of the year. Triple J spearheaded
her trajectory worldwide playing multiple tracks from her highly acclaimed debut EP,
featuring 'Roll up your sleeves'. It was subsequently play listed on radio stations across
America and featured in the US TV series 'Girls' and 'Grace and Frankie'. Buzzfeed
heralded MEG MAC the number one SXSW act to watch out and she earned glowing
Worldwide reviews - "Roll up Your Sleeves" is a breathtakingly beautiful introduction to one
of pop music's most exciting new talents". (Idolator USA). In 2015 MEG MAC was nominated
for 2 ARIA Awards the following year named as one of Triple J's Top 5 'Unearthed'
discoveries of the last decade.
MEG MAC grew up in an Irish family surrounded by the sounds of her mum singing old Irish
songs and records by Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Edith Piaf, Nina Simone and Otis Redding
spinning on the turntable; permeating her soul. Meg says 'I was always inspired by soulful
voices and big voices - I grew up listening to and mostly influenced by singers".
"Singing was always normal and so was playing the piano. It was just what I did without
thinking too much about it. When I put the two together, I started writing music. I'd sing and
play piano for hours and eventually that turned into song writing and I got obsessed,"
explains Meg.
The bedrock of Meg's compositional approach is reflective and personal. "I started writing to
make myself feel better. I have always written about myself; keeping everything very close to
how I am feeling". She draws inspiration and attitude from songwriters like Bob Dylan, Bon
Iver and Patti Smith. "Their songs stick with me and I can carry them around. They describe
a feeling perfectly and I can understand it," say Meg.
