Meg Johnson Band “Because there is such an abundance of fine music emanating
from our glorious valley, I regretfully don't get to hear it all. But I will say
without hesitation, this is some of the finest talent around.” - Mike Jurkovic,
Chronogram Magazine
“Drawing from bluegrass, country, stirring folk,
and psychedelic pop, the group casts a rich, organic vibe that suggests —
take your pick — Sheryl Crow fronting the Allmans, Edie Brickell with the
Band, or Bonnie Raitt leading Little Feat.” – Dave Richards, Erie Times

including Americana, Bluegrass, Blues, and classic rock. Hailing from Woodstock
NY, Meg Johnson has the voice of angels, and the band fleshes out their incredible
material with a mixture of acoustic and electric instruments.” - Phil Simon,
