Local Artist Section Introduces: Megan Nicole

Even though she is still in high-school, this talented 17-year-old recently recorded her first self-titled Country Music album in Nashville and performed at the Chicago Country Music Festival.

Megan Nicole, a life-long resident of Valparaiso, Ind. has a natural talent for country music and entertaining large crowds. Since the age of 5, she has wowed fans with her delightful voice and Midwestern charm. In August 2008, at just 17-years-old, she completed her Nashville produced, self-titled album with songs like “Talk to the Hand”, “Drowned Me in It” and “Bad Boys”. Don’t expect her to stop there; plan to hear more from this multi talented teen in the future.

With influences from Martina McBride, LeAnn Rimes and the great Patsy Cline, her passion and talent will prove her well in today’s Country Music scene and CMC hopes to see Megan perform in Chicago soon.
