About Me

Watch "Oregon" on Blender.com:
"She sings like an angel and plays lap steel guitar like the Devil." --Village Voice
â€œThe distorted cry of a lap steel guitar slices through the Brooklyn night. A voice sings with aching sweetness and strength. Caressing melodies are barbed with stinging solos. This is the sound of The Last Town Chorus - the revolving ensemble led by singer/writer/lap-steel-guitarist Megan Hickey - whose singular approach to music has beguiled writers from The Village Voice, SPIN, Marie Claire, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and ELLE among countless others. Her live shows are nothing short of revelatory, bringing audience members to tears, turning critics into fanatics and building a fiercely loyal fan base in every city The Last Town Chorus visits. The new album, Wire Waltz, is even deeper, more powerful and more personal than the last and includes the wistful reinvention of David Bowie's â€˜Modern Loveâ€™ that was featured in its entirety on an episode of Grey's Anatomy. Available NOW in the US (HackTone Records) and in the UK (Loose Music), Wire Waltz is comfort food for wounded souls."
