B: Who is Meghann Wright?
MW: A woman who loves to create art, collaborate on new projects, and help others.
EL: I was born Meghann Wright and I will die Meghann Wright. Meghann Wright is on tour. Or should I say, on tour-de-force! I am someone who has the answers to your pitiless questions. NEXT!
B: Your most recent music video “Vacancy” has new age take on the western look. What was the inspiration for this song and video?
MW: I’m using the idea of an old run down motel (in this case a brothel) as a metaphor for myself.
EL: The river is a metaphor for aligning your chakras and shocking the sheriff with your quick-draw!
B: How would you describe the genre of music that you create?
MW: I grew up on rock, pop, jazz, classical, punk, hardcore and metal. I really just want to make passionate and artful music that anyone can relate to with its roots in Americana. I call it Sad Bastard Music.
EL: I need help. It’s cold in this house. I ain’t goin’ out to chop wood. Sorry, what was the question? I was thinking about my chakras. Oh yeah. Genre. Is hardcore monogamy a genre?
B: I really enjoyed listening to “Left My Heart in Brooklyn”. Are you leaving the city or a special someone?
MW: It was originally from the perspective of someone else who travels for a living, but now it applies to me more than it used to. Everyone misses home, whether it be a place or a person.
EL: This is a song about both, you ape. I’m leaving a person and they are in a place. Two types of nouns, can you understand that you plebeian speck of human garbage?
B: Do you have any new projects coming out this year?
MW: I am organizing submissions for the third The City & The Heart compilation album featuring indie female artists based in New York. All proceeds from sales go to SafeHorizon.org benefiting victims of domestic violence. You can read more about it

B: What are the big milestones that you hope to accomplish in 2016?
MW: I’d like to write a new album with my band: Sonny Ratcliff, Andrew Nesbitt and Eva Lawitts.
EL: Finally aligning my chakras.
B: What shows do you have coming up?
