OXFORD – Philadelphia-based singer-songwriter Meghan Cary will be performing at Oxford’s 6 On The Square on Saturday, Sept. 24, at 7:30 p.m.  

Cary’s smoky, earthy voice, and emotionally dynamic singing and writing has been compared to Natalie Merchant, Shawn Colvin, the Indigo Girls, and Stevie Nicks.

Cary’s music career began as an unintentional triumph, following the unexpected death of her fiancé. As an actress with over 100 credits for her work, and an in-demand voice over career, she picked up his guitar and penned her first song, followed by enough material to fill two albums; this plunged her into her successful career on the folk circuit. She earned Billboard Magazine’s esteemed Critic’s Choice for Best Newcomer for her debut New Shoes.

At a gig at CBGB’s Gallery Meghan met her husband who was in the opening band. The two married, relocated, and had two children. Initially Meghan tucked away her music career, worrying it would interfere with being a devoted mother, but as the journey of motherhood unfolded she realized being a good mother meant being a complete person and began to understand what an enriching symbiotic relationship music and motherhood could have.
