The Hangmans Beautiful Daughter

About Me


Steve and Meredith, (The Hangman’s Beautiful Daughter), do not believe in ghosts though occasionally, one plays with them. Or so they’ve been told. They started out as solo singer-songwriters and sometime in 2005 - or 2006 - they became a band. They’re not really sure when it happened.
Drawing on the influences of folk rock, “unplugged” grunge, and country, they create music that is earthy, minimalist, broken, redemptive, and emotionally unstable. They also harmonize well.
“if I should stumble” is their first album as The Hangman’s Beautiful Daughter. They released it in 2007 with producer Armand Petri (The Goo Goo Dolls, Sixpence None the Richer, 10,000 Maniacs, etc.). In 2004, Steve released “beautiful addiction,” a solo project with Armand that Meredith helped craft and sang on.
Along with their own music, the band likes to include favorites by artists they admire. This could be as diverse as Counting Crows, Sheryl Crow, Lori McKenna, Tom Petty, Ryan Adams, Deathcab for Cutie, America, U2, Fleet Foxes, Johnny Cash and some other more obscure bands.

They hate us, they love us...

We've heard that you're supposed to let criticism and praise roll off you like water on a duck's back. You know, not take any of it too seriously. We still like getting it (especially the props). H...
