Ethereal songs and stories that seep from dark, enchanted woods…
Cheshire born singer songwriter Megan Dixon Hood has been under the radar in the music scene for some time. A Manchester graduate in music studies she met her band members and began to develop a sound of ethereal alternative art rock/folk, a fairytale world that hints at Florence + the Machine and AURORA.
The end of 2018 saw her release her new EP ‘Tales From The North’, a set of songs inspired by folk tales, stories and nature including ‘Sea of Ice’, a song inspired by a painting and a childhood spent in the mountains, and ‘Drown’ which tells a story of a young bride to be who disappears the night before her wedding, both accompanied by enchanting music videos.
Over the past couple of years, Megan has carried out a busy festival schedule including Rock the Farm, Great Escape Festival, Cornbury, Glass Butter Beach, Middlewich Folk Festival, Sidmouth Fringe Festival and supported Rag’N’Bone Man. She recently collaborated with Manchester’s The Untold Orchestra to bring her songs to life in another way with the help of the 18 piece orchestra and her band.
To celebrate the release of ‘Tales From The North’ Megan and her band played a sold out EP Launch in November 2018 in a church venue in Cheshire with The Untold Orchestra’s String Quartet, streamed live by Fat Pigeon Live.
'Tales From The North' is available on all major platforms.
