Meet Megan
Megan Barker came into this world with songwriting in her blood. Born in Nashville, Megan’s father wrote songs for legends like Ronnie Milsap, Barbara Mandrell, Hank Williams Jr, and more. By the age of 16, Megan was living in Las Vegas and performing live music professionally on the world famous Las Vegas Strip, and opening concerts for stars.
In February 2017, Megan planted her roots back in her hometown of Nashville. In 2018, Megan released the highly anticipated EP, "Leather Souls" produced by Brad Hill. The project included fan favorites, “Tequila Told Me To,” “I Cuss When I Pray,” and “When My Boots Were New.” These special songs received high praise and rave reviews.
2019 was a year of milestones and came with endorsements from McPherson Guitars, Shure Microphones, & Dan Post cowboy boots. Megan played what she calls some of her “favorite shows ever” in the UK, Scotland, and Ireland. She also debuted at the Bluebird Cafe to a sold-out crowd and was featured on the “Spotlight Stage” at CMA Fest.
In 2021, Megan was a co-writer on 6 single releases including, ‘’93’ by Kimberly Dawn which was in rotation on SiriusXM. Other releases include songs from artists like the award winning Canadian group The Heels, Vine superstar and Nashville’s beloved Justen Harden, TikTok sensation Jordan Rainer, and more.
Megan capped the year off with her music video for “Missin Mistletoe” being added to CMT and a delightful review from the legendary Robert Oermann. “The DISCovery Award goes to Megan Barker. Her sweet, light country soprano is accompanied by a small jazz combo of piano/brushed snare/electric guitar on this gently wistful outing. The mood is utterly dreamy.”
In February 2022, Megan was the official host of the live shows at the Durango Songwriter Expo in Ventura, California. In May, fan-favorite, "Friend Like That" was released as a single along with a hilarious music video filmed at the infamous Santa's Pub.
