Meg opened for Loudon Wainwright III last Thursday at The Cedar. Three song excerpt here. I knew the pairing of Meg + The Cedar would be well worth a jaunt down Cedar Avenue. Word is Meg's recording a new album.

The first time I ran into Jack Torrey and Meg Ashling was at The 400 Bar sometime in 2008. I meant to get a recording up sooner but it wasn't until recently that I was able to catch back up with them and The Great Confinement supporting Gabe Barnett & the Big House Jug Band at Acadia Cafe. Don't get me wrong, the Acadia is a fine establishment that I frequent often for food and drink but it's not the greatest room for live recording. I abandoned the room recordings in a hurry in favor of posting these two tracks from the soundboard tapes. Anyways, it's nice to see Meg is playing shows again and be sure to check out Jack's group The Cactus Blossoms linked above. They've been booking a lot of shows around town lately.
